My dinosaur obsession – or, perhaps more specifically, my dinosaur theme park obsession, thanks to Jurassic World: Evolution – has spilled over from the TV screen to the tabletop, with two player board game Duelosaur Island being the latest way I’ve discovered to scratch that very particular itch. The little brother of critical and commercial darling, Dinosaur Island – a […]
I love board games and I love Dungeons & Dragons, but as an adult with a full time job and other responsibilities, I don’t get enough leisure time to play […]
As regular readers will know – particularly those of you who read the blog over the Christmas period – I’m a big fan of board games, especially those that come in small packages with playing time to match. Little Battle is another very small game with very few components – suitable for players of all ages – that has a […]
There’s a cute concept at the heart of The Muddles; players try to create ‘Muddles’ – funny little hybrids of two animals – in an effort to score the most points by the end of the game. The cards have amusing, simple and childlike illustrations, along with humorous names for the Muddles themselves. The problem is that there’s very little […]
Regular readers will know that I’m not only a huge Transformers fan, but also a fan of collectible card games too; having played Magic for more years than I’d care to admit (though on and off – and more casually than serious), I was very excited when I first saw the Transformers Trading Card Game in the wild. The impressively […]
When Magic: The Gathering was released in 1993, few could have predicted the absolute phenomenon it would become, even though it was almost immediately successful. As the first Collectible Card […]
‘Twas the week before Christmas – and I decided to spend it highlighting small, easy to learn and (most importantly) fun tabletop games. I tried to make sure I covered an especially varied selection of games; let’s take a look at what I was able to check out this week. Flip City A compact card game with a city-building theme, […]
I’m ending my week of tiny, affordable and family friendly tabletop game reviews with a look at the Catan: Dice Game. The original board game of The Settlers of Catan […]
I hear you. “We get it,” you cry, “you really like small tabletop games!” You’re not wrong. I’m not someone who has an abundance of space at home – so […]
I’ve spent the last few days reviewing small, clever and unique board games – and I’m continuing the theme today. It’s almost Christmas, after all – and surely the festive period is the ideal time to be checking out board games! As tiny games go, Terrible Monster is one of the smallest there is. It’s comprised of just sixteen cards […]
Unofficially, this week seems to have become board game week for me; after writing a few board game focused reviews, I thought it’d be a good idea to continue spotlighting […]
In my review of Flip City yesterday, I mentioned how minimalism in various aspects of board game design was something that really appealed to me. In Deep Sea Adventure by […]
I’m always in awe of minimalist game designs; whether it’s minimalism in the small number of components or the overall size of the game, or even games with a small […]
Last week, I covered the first digital adaptation of Steve Jackson’s Munchkin card game. In that article, I mentioned a number of the different editions and variations of the game […]
It’s been another busy week for me; somehow, however, I’ve still managed to maintain a pace of an article a day. For most of the week, I’ve tried to push myself into slightly unfamiliar territory and wrote several non-video game related pieces – there’s definitely been a more traditional, card-and-board-games feel to the blog this week, which wasn’t necessarily intentional! […]
It’s been a while since I wrote about the Transformers Trading Card Game (TCG) – and since my last article, I’ve had the chance to try out a number of […]
