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 throughout the stories really caught my attention when I was very young. […]
Version Played: Android (also available on iOS, Windows and Mac) Based on a board game that was first released in 2012, Lords of Waterdeep is a worker placement game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Players take turns placing their agents at different locations in the titular city, hiring adventurers or getting other bonuses that will allow them to […]
With Magic: The Gathering and King of Tokyo alone, Richard Garfield is behind two of my all time favourite games. What I find appealing about Garfield’s games is that they’re generally simple to grasp – albeit quite often with a bit of a learning curve – but with a wealth of choices available to players on each turn. This gives […]
I’m a few days late with this one, considering that Star Wars Day was on Monday – but I thought it was well worth covering anyway. A small card game with a surprising amount of theme and playability, Star Wars: Empire vs Rebellion is a relatively straightforward battle between two players for control of events that have occurred throughout the […]
It’s time for another one of my semi-regular looks at what’s become an absolutely essential service for me – Xbox Game Pass. I know it’s something I go on about […]

There’s a recent trend in the board games world that’s seen classic movies adapted into tabletop form. Licensed games tend to have a very bad name, for good reason; they’re […]
I realise that I’m very late to the party with this one but – having spent most of 2019 covering indie and retro games – I’ve realised that I hadn’t […]
Thanks to December’s Games with Gold freebies, I have finally downloaded and played Jurassic Park: Evolution. I may be a little addicted already… Review scores weren’t particularly high, so I […]
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 had heard of reality TV series, Deadliest Catch, which concerns itself with Alaskan King Crab fishing, but I must confess that I have never seen it. In doing some […]
Dead in Vinland is a beautiful, lovingly crafted, turn-based survival/management game developed by CCCP that released on PC in 2018 to both critical and audience acclaim. The game further widened […]
Waves of the Atlantide – Available now on Steam (Early Access) – Link Here I love Civilization-esque strategy games. Absolutely love being absorbed in them; the way that you just can’t seem to put them down – it always feels as if just one more turn will be enough. It never is, of course! My problem – as is often […]
