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?

Survive perilous travel filled with ambushes, relics, hazards, and fleeting opportunities. Face tense grid‑based battles where positioning, asymmetric abilities, and risk‑reward choices define every fight."
🔥 Storing board games shouldn’t be frustrating. It should be fun!
In this video, we take a look at a better way to store your board games — a system that helps with organization, setup, and actually getting games to the table faster, kind of. From awkward boxes and wasted space to messy setups shelf storage plays a bigger role than you think. And on top of that, why not make it all look amazing? Want to see how we achieved all of that?

This isn't going to be high-level play, nor is it going to be as polished and structured as our usual show...this is just 4 friends getting together to play a game.
