Hello to all of you readers out there, new and old. I appreciate you all taking the time to check out my blog – it’s not always easy to find […]
Weekly Round Up
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! […]
Board Game Review: Rainbow Knights
I’ve written a few articles on tabletop games of late, with my most recent articles of that nature being a look at the point-and-click PC adventure inspired The Dungeon and the D&D-themed, fast-paced chaos of Dungeon Mayhem. Both are very different experiences indeed. Rainbow Knights is another tabletop game that feels very different to a lot of games out there, […]
Board Game Review: Adventure Games: The Dungeon
Having already succumbed to the wonderfully inventive – and sometimes maddeningly brainbending – charms of Exit, the escape room style series of games by Kosmos, I was keen to check out their newest series, Adventure Games. Deliberately evoking the feel of old school PC point and click adventures, the Adventure Games have a great advantage over the Exit series, in […]
The Clip Show
Long running TV shows – particularly sitcoms – are famous for relying on ‘clip shows’ when they run out of time, money, ideas or a combination of the three. The […]
Escape Room Games: Exit – The Game and Unlock!
Escape rooms are a big thing at the moment; I wrote yesterday about how warehouse-sized spaces were – still sometimes are – used for large scale laser tag games, but […]
Zombie Dice
Steve Jackson Games, price varies but £12.50/$9.29 at time of writing – UK: buy here or US: here You’re a zombie. You need brains. You need to chase humans. You definitely don’t need to get shot. That’s the setup for Zombie Dice, which first came out in 2010. I still own my original set, despite it being used a lot […]
Day 50 – Am I A Blogger Now?
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I’ve now reached fifty consecutive days of posting on the blog. Which, I think you’ll agree, is quite a milestone! Without counting today’s post, I’ve only once resorted to what I’d consider ‘filler’ – even then, it was a similar piece to this one in that I was reflecting […]
Chronicles of Crime – Board Game
There’s an increasing number of games that aren’t afraid to use technology in an interesting and pivotal way. Chronicles of Crime is one such game: a police procedural board game in which the components can be used in a variety of scenarios, both included with the base game and as downloadable extras, via an app available on iOS and Android. […]
Indie Game Developers and Publishers: Can I help?
There’s a deluge of games released every single day on a huge variety of formats and digital storefronts. Though it’s great to have so much content to choose from, it presents an unfortunate problem – discoverability on digital storefronts is a major issue. Most gaming websites seem to concern themselves with only AAA games or relatively big budget indies; where […]
8-Bit Box: Pixoid – Board Game Review
The 8-Bit Box from IELLO is an incredibly appealing concept. Billing itself on the box as ‘the first generation board game console’, it’s a collection of games lovingly homaging classic […]
An Introduction to Euro Games
I was in my early 20s when I rediscovered the joy of board games. One of the best side effects of that was that it also reignited my passion for writing. Without having had my interest in board games back, it’s unlikely that I would be here, writing this right now. At first, it was a bit bewildering. I made […]
