We finally got around to playing Rise of the Empire! This expansion for Star Wars: Rebellion took our enjoyment of base game and propelled it even further. The game still has the initial cat and mouse with the highly asymmetrical play, but the ameritrash combat system has been altered with tactic cards! You also get to do worker placement as some of the new leaders from Rogue One (the movie). In our two games, did the rebels win, or was the empire successful with the looming threat of the Death Star miniature?

We're kicking off the year with a video that we're hoping might just be colourful enough to wash away a layer of that cold January grey. Wroth - a recent release from Chip Theory Games is simple, tactile, a just a little bit CHUNKY. We hope you've all had a restful end to 2025 - and wish you all the best in the year to come!
🔥 We played a TON of board games this January 2026… so here’s our ranking of the best of the bunch!
In this video we go through every board game we played this month and rank them from “good” to absolutely incredible. These are the games that earned table time, made us laugh, surprised us, or straight-up dominated our game nights.
