Today, we are taking a look at the new Genro expansion for Nippon: Zaibatsu. We hope the video will help you find out if this is a good addition for you or not!
I finished Lands of Evershade after completing The Song of Luada! Three 18 hour adventures have been complete, so what are my final thoughts on this Hybrid RPG campaign game from Awaken Realms? Can the game stick the story-driven, CYOA high fantasy ending? Especially since you are rolling the D12’s constantly throughout the game, but now there is more usage of the other dice, like D20s! How does your character’s variable progression fare, now that you have plenty of new actions and items? Is there end game balance, or did the game decide to favor story instead? Is the MSRP of $80 without minis still worth it? How will dnD players fare after playing adventure 1?

- For bottom layers 'aaaxx' and 'aaaax' you can fill them in any order you wish. Mine are valid, I played it as shown. Which is tougher! 😜
- 39:06 I missed scoring an extra 4 die which gives me 4 points.
- 40:14 I missed scoring an extra 6 die which gives me 6 + 20 bonus points.
"Eureka! It’s the discovery of the century! Petey Pickaxe and his friends have found an ocean of gems beneath the soil. Now it’s up to them to mine deep and find treasures untold. But resources are limited and daylight is burning — can they reach the best riches before it’s too late?
Eureka is the second title in Bitewing Games’ new Table for One Series — a line of solo-only games featuring oodles of challenges with vintage cartoon art."
This is a serious game with a dark and difficult theme. We feel it's presented in a way that makes for compelling gameplay and thoughtful discussion before, during, and after, so we're excited to bring this one to y'all.
If you're interested in Doubt is Our Product, Kyle teaches you how to play and then he and Edward play a full game and discuss it afterwards.
We encourage and welcome your thoughts and feedback, y'all!

Hey friends! Today I am so excited to share a new expansion coming for Stonespine Architects by Thunderworks Games! In the new expansion, Stonespine Architects Invasion players deploy their boss monster and its minions to their dungeon at the end of each round to defend their expanding dungeon against invading heroes. The player to defeat the most heroes without letting any escape will be awarded a bonus, but all players will earn experience for their monster to unlock unique abilities and scoring opportunities.
