Threshold Prototype Review — MMO meets Campaign Game

✇Shelfside
Von: Shelfside
28. Oktober 2025 um 15:30

💾

We review a ‘MMO’ styled campaign board game! Threshold by owl studios features players deckbuilding with asymmetric characters, fighting on a hex map (like Gloomhaven). There is a combination of the overland and combat, as players manage their hands of 5 cards, upgrading their decks as they level up. You can role-play as a guardian or mystic in this prototype, to do MMORPG-isms! At some point there may be level 40 raids, or guilds to participate in! Lots of aspects of the questing and loot feel like the popular blizzard game World of Warcraft, but how online could this board game be? Could you play dungeons online with fellow members via discord after the gamefound?

Other games mentioned: Pokemon Emerald, Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era, Guild Wars 2, Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon, Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin, Dragon Eclipse, Dominion

London — Side-by-Slide Board Game Comparison 👥

Let's compare the two editions of the board game London, by Martin Wallace: From his own company Treefrog in 2010 to the 2017 edition from Osprey.

Note I haven't played the game, so this is a comparison of the components and my vibes from reading the rules.


Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!

Star Wars: Battle of Hoth Review — Memoir 44 Strikes Back!

✇Shelfside
Von: Shelfside
22. Oktober 2025 um 16:30

💾

We review this tactical 1v1 fight between the Rebels and Empire! Battle of Hoth is an asymmetrical hex based war game that only takes 30 minutes too! You'll manage your hand and battlefield to get the most medals, rolling dice to resolve combats. With simple line of sight rules and a great presentation, does this have what it takes to be popular on BGG in 2025? After all, many of the old Memoir 44 rules are here, just tweaked to make the game even more streamlined. There's also a TON of replayability and depth with the campaigns and mini-campaigns! Did Days of Wonder do it again, or is this game simply not innovative enough?

🎲 Publisher: Osprey Games
🕒 Play Time: Around 30 minutes
👥 Players: 2
💡 Complexity: Medium-light strategy

If you enjoy tight two-player strategy games with elegant mechanics and historical flavor, General Orders: Sengoku Jidai deserves a spot on your radar.

Wargame Archaeology: Digging Into the History of Miniature Wargaming with Matthew Kirschenbaum

✇Homo Ludens
Von: Homo Ludens
20. Oktober 2025 um 10:16

💾

In this new episode of Wargame Archaeology, I’m joined by Liz Davidson from Beyond Solitaire and special guest Matthew Kirschenbaum, one of the authors of Zones of Control: Perspectives on Wargaming, for a deep dive into the origins and evolution of miniature wargaming.

While Liz and I come from the world of board wargames, Matthew will guide us through the fascinating history of figurine wargaming from its 19th-century roots to its modern tabletop communities. Together, we’ll look at how miniature wargaming and board wargaming grew into two parallel traditions, what the miniatures scene looks like today, and how it grapples with questions of accessibility, tradition, and renewal. We’ll also discuss how the creative energy and design innovations of recent years have reshaped both sides of the hobby, and how the conversations sparked by Zones of Control continue to echo through today’s wargame design culture.
