Tom Vasel, Joey Evans, and Chris Yi take a look at their top 10 games to play with three players. What makes a great three player game? You'll have to tune in to see.
Join me for a complete solo board game teach and playthrough of the new expansion for Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon -- Shackleton Base: Below. Within. Above. I play with all three new corporations, the new agency, and new bonus tiles.
A review copy of the expansion was provided by Pandasaurus Games.

With our heavy Twilight Imperium experience, we came up with a variant of our own to fix the agenda phase! This Landsraad variant takes into account the ministers and a new law called “Lord of Rex” to deepen the political intrigue before and during each agenda phase. We also tested the galactic module Rapid Mobilization, which is from Thunder’s Edge, to see if that can actually make the game shorter. This doesn't change the asymmetry of the games at all, and in fact might help area control ideas.
🎲 Board game collections are always evolving…
In this video, we’re saying goodbye to 6 games from our collection — and replacing them with 6 new ones.
Some were easy to let go… others not so much. But every game we removed made room for something new.
💬 Which would YOU keep… and which would you replace?

Is Nippon: Zaibatsu the perfect euro game? In this review, I break down why this industrial strategy game might be one of the most satisfying combinations of engine building, player interaction, and tough decision-making available today.
From managing your workforce and timing consolidation, to building factories, producing goods, and competing for influence across regions, Nippon: Zaibatsu delivers constant meaningful choices—and punishes mistakes in the best way possible.
If you love medium-heavy euro games with tight economies, clever systems, and real interaction, this might be exactly what you’re looking for.
⸻
What You’ll Learn in This Review:
* How the worker system and consolidation timing drive the entire game
* Why the engine building feels so rewarding
* How player interaction sets it apart from other euros
* The biggest strengths and potential downsides
* Whether it’s worth adding to your collection
⸻
Who This Game Is For:
* Fans of engine-building euro games

Tower defence isn’t just for video games anymore. In this video, we’re counting down the Top 10 Tower Defence Board Games — games where waves of enemies, clever positioning, brutal choices, and last-stand panic all collide on the tabletop.
From fantasy monsters and sci-fi invasions to castles, traps, turrets, barricades, and desperate “please don’t break through the line” moments, these are the board games that best capture that classic tower defence feeling. Expect tactical decisions, escalating pressure, co-op chaos, and probably at least one game where everything goes horribly wrong by round three.
Whether you love cooperative board games, solo board games, campaign games, castle defence games, or just watching your carefully built defences get smashed to bits, this list has something for you.
Are these the best tower defence board games ever made? Or have I missed your favourite? Let me know in the comments.
