Review: Neurodeck (Switch/PC)
Though deckbuilding games are fairly common these days, Neurodeck takes a really different approach with its subject matter. Players take on the role of a character (only one is unlocked […]
Board Game Review: Western Legends
Ever wanted to saddle up and ride out into the Old West to become the most legendary personality there ever was? Now’s your chance, with the hugely enjoyable Western Legends […]
Board Game Review: Sweet Existence: A Strange Planet Card Game
Nathan W. Pyle’s Strange Planet webcomic has had a meteoric rise to popularity, considering it only launched on Instagram – of all places – in February 2019. It’s not hard […]
Board Game Review: Marvel Battleworld: Mystery of the Thanostones
Far from a normal board game, Funko’s Marvel Battleworld: Mystery of the Thanostones has a strong collectable element to its appealingly cute figures, as well as blind bag/box type mystery characters – with the endorphin rush of cracking open the egg-like Thanostones cleverly woven into the game’s mechanics. All a single player needs to play is a single pack too, […]
Board Game Review: Nessos
I’ve got to be honest – I didn’t think I’d enjoy Nessos at all. Though it bills itself as Greek Deduction & Bluff right there on the box, the theme is next to irrelevant to the gameplay and in truth, given how it feels quite pasted on, could just as easily be Norse, Samurai or Cyberpunk themed without it making […]
Board Game Review: 8-Bit Box: Double Rumble
Iello’s 8-Bit Box is an absolutely fantastic concept. Styled as a classic console, it comes bundled with three games that each use their own custom components as well as shared bits and pieces from the core box, such as player controllers, dice and cubes.

Kickstarter: 7 Fortunes – Greek Mythology Edition
Please note that the Kickstarter campaign for 7 Fortunes is now live! I’ve always had a huge interest in Greek mythology. Call it narcissistic (which is, of course, appropriate in relation to the subject matter too) but with my name being the same as that of a famous Greek hero (and who I was named after), seeing ‘Jason’ pop up […]
Board Game Review: Arkham Noir – Case #1: The Witch Cult Murders
I’ve always been a fan of HP Lovecraft’s writing – and his stories have provided inspiration for lots of other writers, as well as for entertainment in other media. Most […]
Board Game Review: Centipede
Having owned an Atari 2600 as a kid – and playing it well into the late 80s, given that games could easily and regularly found for pennies at car boot […]
Board Game Review: Little Battle
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 […]
