Wizard & Skull King — Are They Gems? 💎

✇Board Gems
Von: Board Gems
03. März 2026 um 19:15

💾

So busy, so busy. I'll have to put off my next "how to play, etc" video, and instead take the opportunity to chat about my two favourite trick-taking games.

Oh Hell — which I actually have never played! — is an exact-bid trick-taker using a standard French-suited deck of cards. These two games add special cards to this excellent formula:
— Wizard adds special cards that (basically) guarantee to win or lose a trick
— Skull King adds more special cards, including ones that score points for catching other cards in the trick, and tweaks other things like making bids simultaneous for maximum casualness and chaos!

Both are classic, both are great.
(Hmm, seems I gave away the ending there.)

00:00 Intro ▶️
01:33 Trick-Taking (and Oh Hell in particular) 🃏
04:23 Wizard 🧙‍♂️
13:45 Skull King 🏴‍☠️


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

Re;MATCH Prototype Review — A Deep Marble Fighter

We review Re:MATCH, an asymmetrical 1v1 fighting game with marbles! You try to reduce your opponent’s credits to 0 first! In this arcade-styled MATCH3 game by Brother Ming Games, you will take a set of connected marbles on your turn to launch an attack! There are 3 colors of marbles for 3 colors of attack for each player. But every time you take marbles, you can set up your opponent accidentally! We cover 6 different variable player powers in this box, with more on the way! How does this Marble Puzzle compare to other direct conflict card and board games? The marbles in this kickstarter are not just a gimmick, but perhaps aren’t for everyone…

I tried a "Smart" TCG

✇Shelfside
Von: Shelfside
02. März 2026 um 16:30

💾

I tried an upcoming card game that is filled with NFC tech! It features deckbuilding with grid control ideas, as you try to conquer the most land and have the most overall strength before the game ends. STCG Ragnarok's board automatically keeps track of cards’ health and abilities upon play. The board has speakers and lights to assist in all this, with a rechargeable battery! There’s no need for chips or counters to play. On your turn, you either play a card or pass, that’s it! How does this compare to other TCGs and LCGs like Magic the Gathering or Yugioh?

Game design may, or may not, be your full-time occupation. Statistically speaking, it is very likely that it is not.

This motivational book is about the reality of life as a tabletop game designer.

I’ve been working in the board game industry for the last 10 years, with many published games, and chronicling my experiences on my YouTube channel ‘Adam in Wales – Board Game Design’. I’ve become known for my open, honest account of my experiences of designing games, pitching to publishers, negotiating contracts, and my focus on board games as commercial products.

I’m not going to tell you how to make a million by selling games. I’m not going to guarantee that you’ll even get a game published.

This book will tell you the truth about the industry – or at least, provide you with a sincere account of one designer’s experience. The information in these pages will sometimes be challenging, but also affirming. My goal is to encourage you in your game design endeavours, whatever stage you are at in your journey.

This is a book about becoming the kind of person who can sustain a life in design.

Each uplifting chapter describes a host of lessons I've learned about managing my own mindset as a designer.

1. You are not an aspiring designer. You are a designer.
2. There is no win condition. Your only competition is with yourself.
3. If it scares you, it’s worth exploring.
4. Each mechanism asks a question. Your game is the solution.
5. Tom Vasel is not your fiercest critic. You are.
6. Build a community. They will energise you.
7. You are not a pawn. You are a queen (or king).

About the author

Adam Porter is an award winning game designer from the United Kingdom, known for making accessible games suitable for families, and for his popular YouTube channel Adam in Wales where Adam talks candidly about his experiences pitching and licensing games to publishers.

Adam's published games include Pikoko, Doodle Rush, Kompromat, Qwuzzle, Zooligans, Thrown, Big Bazar, Happy Hoppers, Ballot Battle, and Zing-a-Zam.

The Best Board Games For Two Players...That Aren't Specifically Two Player! (Episode 12)

We thought we'd share our favourite games to play when it's just the two of us, that aren't specifically designed for two players! It's quite easy these days to find a list of great games for two players only, but much harder to figure out if games designed for 4 or 6 players would be worth getting if you only play with two people. We briefly describe each game and then take you through which aspects of the game design make it so much fun at two players, while contrasting it with what is different at higher player counts.

This is episode 12 so be sure to check out the others!

Tenby Review | A Cozy Town Builder With a Brilliant Turn Order Twist

✇Brains On Games
Von: Brains On Games
24. Februar 2026 um 18:30

💾

In this Tenby board game review, I take a look at Tenby, a cozy town-building board game with a brilliantly clever action selection system and a smart turn order mechanism. If you enjoy games with charming themes and meaningful decisions, Tenby has a lot to like.

What really stood out to me is how your action choices affect turn order. That means every round becomes a timing puzzle: you’re not just choosing the best action, you’re choosing when to act now and how that may affect your position next round.


00:00 Into
00:36 Complexity & Play Count
01:40 Victory Conditions & The Point Salad
05:47 The Turn-Order Puzzle
07:06 Skills
09:22 Final Thoughts

Tenby looks cozy on the table, but it has a surprisingly sharp strategic core. If you like board games with hidden depth, drafting decisions, and clever timing, this one is worth checking out.
