Smash Up and Smash Up: Awesome Level 9000 Review

Smash Up - do you hate me or do I hate you? I think we're best just considering ourselves "frienemies"

Hive and Hive Pocket Review

My favorite 2-player game to play with Lady Rad.  She loves it, I love it, and I love the sound it makes.

Alcatra: The Scapegoat Review

Alcatraz, you make me angry.  I don't think that's what you were trying to do, but you did it.  Thanks a lot.

Quarriors: Quest of the Qladiator Review

The third expansion in my favorite deck/dice building game. Some may say the overuse of "Q's" is irritating; I say it's following the rule of comedy where something that becomes tired gets funny again if you do it long enough.  Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a game with Q's plastered all over it when you've got a daughter named Q! Enjoy!

Sentinels of the Multiverse Review

Oh Sentinels of the Multiverse, how I love you and your savvy IP-skirting ways.  I want to play more of you, and will be doing so long after this review posts.

Telltale Review

The bigger version of a game I found at the bottom of Mu and Q's kids' meal.  It introduced me to a great new game from a great family-friendly publisher.

Escape: The Curse of the Temple Review

A game for up to 5 players that plays in exactly 10 minutes, powered by a soundtrack, and is the most enjoyable anxiety you'll experience sitting at a table? Wait - this is a boardgame? Yep.  It sure is.

Lords of Vegas Review

Someone has to keep a list of underrated games.  If they do - put this as #1 with a bullet.  Lords of Vegas is everything fun about economic games with a heavy dose of negotiation and luck.  Love it Love it Love it.

Mage Wars Review - SRD's Game of the Year for 2012!

Imagine taking the best card combinations of Magic the Gathering without the random draw and the tactical strategy of Summoner Wars with more options; now imagine playing that on a gigantic board with tons of quality components.  Yep, you've just walked into Mage Wars.

Revolver 2 Review

From my friends at Stronghold Games comes this 2-player Wild West asymmetric card game.  Is it any good? Well, it comes with wooden sombreros, so that's a start!
