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
* Players who enjoy strategic depth and planning
* Groups that want interaction without chaos

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.
"A 1-4 player competitive board game where success depends on improvisation, creativity, and surgical precision. Travel the world, infiltrate exotic locations, and eliminate high-profile targets - but this time, you won't be alone. Other agents have also been assigned the contract, and they’ll stop at nothing to sabotage your mission and deliver the killing blow. Guns blazing or silent assassin? The choice is yours."
It's time for another Live Q&A! We are ready to hang out and answer some questions, have fun, and hopefully laugh a bit!
If you have any questions you want to send us in advance, you can do so by sending them to boardgamingramblings@gmail.com, with the subject line "QUESTION"
If you’re into games like The Mind or Bomb Busters, you’re probably going to love this one! Take Time has players place numbered cards around a clock in specific ways according to the current challenge - but the twist is players can’t communicate in game or show their cards, and only half the cards are in each game!
Today, we are doing a sponsored playthrough of Schlock!: B-Movie Magnate.
We are drafting tiles to make the best movie titles, get the correct audience, and ultimately score the most points.
We hope you'll enjoy the video, and that it'll help you find out if the game is a good fit for you or not!
Join me as I learn the rules for the base game of Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon. I am preparing for a solo playthrough of the new Shackleton Base expansion.
Hey friends! It's time to learn this new version of Catan! CATAN: On the Road builds on well-known CATAN mechanics with a fresh variation. Gameplay is driven by a deck of 120 cards. Players gather resources by drawing cards, construct developments from a common set of available choices, and negotiate trades either with the bank or with fellow players. Hope you enjoy!

Finspan: Sharks & Reefs adds to the variety of the core game with a focus on sharks and fish that live among coral reefs. This expansion introduces new coral reef habitats to your ocean mat and more incredible sharks—with fearsome new abilities!
Players can now nurture colorful coral reefs in each of their ocean's three dive sites. Healthy reefs enable you to play powerful reef fish, unlock fish abilities, and score bonuses at the end of the game. Meanwhile, sharks scatter schools of young (to form even more schools elsewhere) and leave behind food scraps that any fish in your ocean can consume.
🎲 How well do you really know 90’s board games?
In this video, JT tests JG with a board game trivia challenge, where he has to guess games from each year of the 90s
But there’s a catch — he needs to score a certain number of points to win…
💬 Play along and see how many you can get!

Welcome to Totally Digital, a series where I teach and play the best digital board games and board game adjacent video games. Today I'm playing the demo of Grail, a fantasy deckbuilder from Sokpop Collective where your deck fights for you.
Yet another excellent week of board gaming! Managed to get in a game of A Feast for Odin which has really become a favourite, and we’ve only just got around to playing it this year! A couple of rounds of Wavelength which is always so fun to crack out at parties.
Civilisation Through the Ages at 3 players - for us a bit of an occasion game as you need to set a good amount of hours aside to do it - we actually ended up conceding as it was going on too long and we were hungry 😂
Introduced a friend to Nemesis: Retaliation. He made some not super smart moves and his character died after only a few rounds. Instead of starting again we just made him take a new character…
Tried out The Hobbit There & Back Again, a cute roll n write based on different chapters that you play through as a very light narrative. Really enjoying that so far!
The Hobbit There & Back Again and Nemesis: Retaliation provided by the publisher as review copies.
