I am an animal nut. While I could do without snakes and some bugs, the rest get the full measure of my affection. It helps if they are cute, but they don’t even really have to be. I mean, pangolins are weird-looking, but still lovable in my book. When I learned there was a board […]

The game shares the same theme and trippy aesthetic as Druid City’s, […]
Angel’s Share refers to the portion of a spirit lost to evaporation as it ages. Set in Scotland, players will be purchasing and storing barrels, trying to time the market for maximum profits.

Sunshine filters delicately through the dew. Edvard Grieg’s Morning Mood babbles softly forth from the nearby brook. Pastels abound. The air vibrates with the gentle buzzing of medieval Worker Beeples as they embark upon their quest to build the most pimped-out Bee Palace. Propolis, from Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, and Shawn Stankewich, with art from […]
As a fan, I’m starting to feel overwhelmed by the number of The Lord of the Rings games out there. Do you want a war game? There’s a Tolkien game for that! Living Card Game? Look no further than the Shire. There are trivia games, trick-taking games, deck building, strategy, battle, and more than one […]
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) was the author of the first published computer algorithm before computers existed; to put it succinctly, she was a computer science pioneer and visionary. Sadly, her ambitions were never fully realized during her own lifetime owing both to her gender and her untimely death. In the 200 or so intervening years, society […]

So who is Paul? No, I’m not referring to Paul Dennen (Dune Imperium/Uprising), Paul Salomon (Honey Buzz), or Paul Peterson (Smash Up), though I’m sure I could find gaming disagreements with each of these fine designers. Rather, I am referring to my wonderful husband Paul, the man who introduced me to the strategy board gaming […]
Wood is a common resource input in board games, whether it’s for building fences, buildings, or any of a number of wooden trinkets. There are even some games with wood-centric theming, like Woodcraft and Lignum, which delve into some detail about processing and manipulating wood to attain final products. These games typically treat wood as […]
First, there was a Point Salad. But after a Freak Accident, that salad became Point City. Tragically, a Frique Axident occurred while attempting to revert the aforementioned Freak Accident, and that City has become a Galaxy. Cue that last scene from Men in Black with Inception Music. Point Galaxy, from Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, and […]
In a world where Kickstarters routinely hit pledge levels at half a grand or more, it’s always nice to lay your hands on a game that runs in the opposite direction. To be fair, there is absolutely a place at my table for sprawling dungeon crawlers with loads of minis, massive amounts of character customization, […]

This is a list for the true cardboard creeps out there. The ones who keep those little Silica Gel packets in their games. Just in case. The ones who could go out and join a game night. But they stay in. And play their own damn games. By themselves! In silence! Solo gaming is perhaps […]
For years, you’ve dreamed of the high seas. The open skies, the spray of the water, the hapless merchant vessels in your area just waiting to be plundered. And by Neptune, you’re ready! You’ve got a really cute captain’s hat and a matching sash that will slay in any galley. There’s just one problem. You […]
There is a seemingly endless variety in board games. Different mechanics, different themes, different genres. I love it. It’s one of the things that keeps me engaged in the hobby. There are still some game aspects that I find myself returning to frequently. I am easily swayed by beautiful art, and I like nature or […]
Endeavor: Deep Sea puts you in charge of a research vessel exploring the ocean both on the surface and at increasing depths. Recruit specialists, publish your research, and perform conservation activities while you are at it. This game has been on my wish list since it hit the Hotness. It checked a lot of boxes. […]

The history of the board gaming hobby is something I’ve paid close attention to over my 10+ years in the hobby. Remembering the hype of the past, understanding why certain games were so popular in their time, and identifying why certain games are lost to time are just some of the factors that keep me […]
