Ziggurat 2 — Zigga Zig Aggghhhh!
Unlike the original game, Ziggurat 2 has a full campaign with a plot. The plot is very simple, with good mages and bad mages trying to save or destroy the world, with you heading up the good guys. You’ll complete quests around a map to…
Food Truck Simulator has a heartwarming story, but needs optimization
It is no secret that I love food-related games. In another life, I myself would be running a food truck, flipping my own burgers, or well, probably making tacos if I am honest! So, I am always excited to dive into a new food-related game.…
Galaxy Trucker — A Game for the Ages
Review updated on March 14th, 2022- adding in thoughts about newest version of Galaxy Trucker. When it comes to legendary board game designers, few are more renowned than Vlaada Chvatil. Among his many accolades, Vlaada held BoardGameGeek’s…
Lacuna — Branching A Jazzy Future
A bit of an odd one, Lacuna. On the one hand it's a classic slice of Noir played straight, with scifi flourishes. It plays simply, until you hit an investigative sequence. At this point it may well not be as twisting and winding as it seems…
Doomlings brings lots of fight to evolution
Doomlings is a simple to understand but challenging to win card-based game where you and your friends are all looking to evolve to their best form before the world ends. Using cards in your hands, you need to select and play traits, so that…
Project Wingman — 5 Minute Read
300 multi-purpose missiles, forty bombs and over one thousand rounds of heavy-machine gun ammunition. That, believe it or not, is a relatively modest payload for the airplanes you'll fly in Sector D2's excellent Project Wingman — a clear…
Minecraft Pets Collection brings the cute pets!
While Minecraft is perhaps best known for its mods, or even its core survival experience, there's another part that doesn't get written about quite as much: A collection of marketplace creations, made by users, that can be added to your…
Kardboard Kings — Many cards. Left bored?
The bulk of Kardboard Kings has you checking online to buy individual cards or card packs which you put on display in one of six slots in your shop. Whilst you can’t set the price yourself, rumours in the news will hint at which cards are…
Tyrants of the Underdark — underground, no one can hear you scream
Because board games are usually printed in limited numbers of perhaps up to a few thousand (for a standard retail release) there can be a big difference between versions when a reprint comes several years later. In the case of Tyrants of…
The Company Man — Its Rage Against the Machine!
Tired of the nine to five grind? Can't take another performance review? Finally had enough of your overbearing, inconsiderate boss? Well, now thanks to The Company Man, you can finally bring down the machine in this stylish, fast-paced, yet…
Thea 2: The Shattering brings Slavic-inspired, 4X strategy to Xbox Series X
If you know the original Thea at all, then you'll probably already know that there's no way I could do it justice in a brief article intended to take five or so minutes to read through. The reason that I've chosen to cover Thea 2: The…
The Resistance — figure out the spys
The Resistance is a short, deception based game that makes for a good ice breaker and is fun in groups, especially those that are well established and where everyone knows each other! Who doesn’t want to try and defeat a traitor? In The…
Monster Camp — Both Monster and Camp
If you are someone that enjoys silly, somewhat crude and horny humour Monster Camp is a great get. But if you played a lot of Monster Prom before, this might just feel like more of the same.
King of Tokyo Monster Box brings a ton of fun to your tabletop
At over eleven years old, King of Tokyo has stood the test of time, bridging the gap between earlier examples of what we now call “modern board games” and the current Kickstarter generation, which sees bigger and flashier boxes released…

Morels: Homestead showed that I can’t quite make it as a farmer
When we got the Oculus Quest, I was very excited to try out a number of games! One of them was Morels: Homestead, a realistic farming game that has you transforming an empty plot of land into a glorious farm! I have tried to get into…
Shinorubi — My eyes have melted
Of course, all these opponents are shooting at you pretty much constantly, and you’ll need to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge your way through their bullets. Like many games in this genre, Shinorubi gives you a large ship, but only a tiny…
Kingdom Hearts Perilous Pursuit saves worlds from the heartless
Kingdom Hearts Perilous Pursuit is a dice rolling game where you have to work together as a team to save worlds from the heartless, co-operating with careful dice-allocation and dice-sharing to overcome the darkness corrupting each world.…
Cannibal Cuisine has you cooking to survive
When it comes to cooking, couch co-op games, I love trying out new ones! Cannibal Cuisine is one of these types of games, however, there is a twist. Instead of cooking up lovely dishes for some sort of crowd, you are actually killing…
Demon Turf — Queen of the Flattened
I was delighted by the visual presentation when I first saw Demon Turf. The combination of 2D characters placed into a 3D world feels novel. In my preview, I mentioned some worries that I hoped would be addressed by launch. Even still…
