Get ready to duel without the danger! In Let’s Hit Each Other With Fake Swords from Exploding Kittens, players grab foam swords, draw action cards, and swing for hilarious victory. It’s fast, physical, and full of laughter — the perfect party game for families and friends who don’t mind looking ridiculous.

In this quick review, I’ll show how the game plays, what makes it so funny, and why it’s one of the most absurd games Exploding Kittens has ever made.

Twilight Imperium 4: Thunder's Edge | Shelfside Review

✇Shelfside
Von: Shelfside
05. November 2025 um 16:30

💾

We review the latest Ti4 expansion, after playing it four times! Well technically, we played Codex 4 3 times, then this once, but there’s a lot of crossover! This 2nd expansion for the top BGG game, Ti4 (with Pok) includes more asymmetric factions all the way to new 4x mechanics (Thunder’s edge + fracture). Explore the fracture and invest into the new legendary planets! Or play an entire new game mode with drafting, in Twilight’s Fall! There are patched cards from the codexes and cardboard pieces like the strategy cards. With the 20 galactic events, you can fix voting or even introduce RTS-isms with the Monuments to the Ages! Will this be the definitive first expansion to get, even with Prophecy of Kings already being out? How do the 6 new factions fare? What has become of the massive product Twilight Imperium, as maybe there could be a Ti5 one day?

A Very Civil Whist - Unboxing

✇Homo Ludens
Von: Homo Ludens
03. November 2025 um 22:50

💾

It’s finally here! In this video, I unbox my latest design, A Very Civil Whist, freshly released by PHALANX Games. This is my third published game, and one that had a peculiar design process as it started as a convention freebie.

A Very Civil Whist is a fast, strategic, and historically grounded game that reimagines the English Civil War through the elegant mechanics of the classic card game Whist. Players take sides as either the Royalists or the Parliamentarians, battling for political, military, and religious dominance in mid-17th-century England.

As I open the box for the first time, I’ll walk you through the components, share some behind-the-scenes notes about the design process, and reflect on what this project means to me as both a designer and a student of history.

Sardegna AKA Kreta — How to Play 🎲 and Is It a Gem? 💎

✇Board Gems
Von: Board Gems
03. November 2025 um 19:15

💾

Settle the island of Crete or Sardinia, pick your poison. Players have a limited hand of cards to place or move pieces into scoring regions. But you don't get your cards back to play again until someone triggers scoring. You're scoring a fair bit now, so do you trigger scoring? That means you aren't placing/moving pieces, and other players will have a head-start in the next round. But at least you'll have some influence as to what regions will score in the future.

Kreta was a Stefan Dorra game from 2005 that never had a reprint or an English edition. However, there's a new, smaller, inexpensive edition from Playte called Sardegna that is almost a must-buy if you enjoy area-majority board games at all.

Old King's Crown - Designer Interview with Pablo Clark

✇Homo Ludens
Von: Homo Ludens
30. Oktober 2025 um 12:51

💾

In this interview, I sit down with Pablo Clark, the designer and artist behind The Old King’s Crown — one of the most acclaimed indie releases of the year.

Pablo and I first met before his incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, and now that the game has finally reached players’ tables, it’s already being praised for its stunning visuals and unique design. We talk about what it means to create such an ambitious project as a first-time designer, how his artistic background shaped the world of The Old King’s Crown, and the process of building a passionate online community around his work.

We also dive into the lore of the game’s universe, how Pablo handled feedback and iteration during development, and what’s next for his studio, Eerie Idol Games.

If you haven’t yet secured your copy, make sure to check out the Hop On Board channel, we’ll soon be doing a livestream of the game featuring Pablo and myself, with a giveaway for The Old King’s Crown!
