Dans cette vidéo, je retrouve Polgara (https://www.lepointdepolgara.fr
) pour une discussion approfondie autour de Meltwater, un jeu aussi radical dans sa proposition ludique que dans son propos.
À travers cette review, nous nous interrogeons sur ce que peut être un jeu de société aujourd’hui : est-il un simple produit de divertissement, ou peut-il proposer une véritable expérience esthétique et philosophique ? Meltwater nous sert ici de point de départ pour explorer les limites du médium, la manière dont ses mécaniques peuvent être détournées ou mises en tension, et ce que cela implique pour les joueuses.
Dans ce monde post-apocalyptique où les survivants s’affrontent sur les glaces de l’Antarctique après une guerre nucléaire, le jeu propose une expérience dépouillée, brutale, presque inconfortable, qui questionne directement notre rapport à la guerre, à la stratégie, et à la victoire.
Meltwater est-il un jeu “anti-guerre” ? Ou simplement une autre manière de représenter le conflit ? C’est ce que nous essayons de démêler dans cette discussion.

Welcome to BoardGameBollocks, where we throw cardboard into the arena and see what survives. In this review of Monster Pit, I’m taking a look at the gameplay, components, theme, replay value, and whether this monster-bashing brawler is actually worth your time and money. Is it a hidden gem of chaotic arena combat, or just another beastly box of overhyped nonsense? Let’s find out.
Expect honest opinions, a proper breakdown of how it plays, and no sugar-coated rubbish.
I'm on the hunt for the best light, medium and heavy solo board game. Each episode I look at one solo game that I've been playing in each complexity category and see if it can knock off the current champion in its weight category. This episode, I'm looking at The Hobbit: There & Back Again, Creature Caravan and SETI!

Roll and move makes a comeback with this simple party game? We review this re-release by CMYK, of taking an asymmetric zany racer, and rolling a D6 on your turn to move! It has no hand management and little dice manipulation within the race, but you will be drafting and secretly selecting your racers for each race! And one of the maps has spaces to make you trip or go forwards/backwards. Is this a bargain at only $30, or does the gameplay have too little agency for what it is?
