Board gamers are interesting folks. They like to look back at what was hot or not in the previous year. A second favorite pastime, much like a young Luke Skywalker, is looking forward instead of focusing on the here and now. And while many of us have shelves of shame practically overflowing, what better way […]

The Ugliest Board Games We Love

Many board gamers are shallow. All they care about is how things look. It’s not what’s on the inside that matters (unless you’re talking components and then we’re back to high snobbery with supreme deluxe big box editions). Oh. My. God. Look at the size of that box. I like big boxes and… *Tony coughs […]

This year has been a weird one. Somehow it’s halfway over and yet, there hasn’t been a lot that’s come across our collective radars when it comes to favorite games released this year. We were prepping to do our annual list of “The Best Board Games of 2023… So Far,” but we struggled to come […]

The Best Train Board Games

One of the burning questions in the board gaming hobby—why are trains games such a significant niche? In part, the idea of trains works really well for a lot of gaming mechanisms. You can create some routes, pick up and deliver goods (or passengers), and manage a company. Why don’t they use planes or cars… […]

There seems to be a polarization of app-assisted board games. Some people can’t get enough of them, while others want nothing to do with them. No matter what side of the fence you live on, it’s also hard to deny that app-assisted board games are not only here to stay but are able to do […]

The Best Roll and Write Board Games

Tony Mastrangeli — Fri, 19 May 2023 13:08:49 +0000

Over the course of the past decade, the roll (or flip, or flick, or pick your mechanic here) and write games have exploded in popularity. Sure, the genre has been around since the days Yahtzee was invented, but we’ve come a long way since this dice chucker was one of the only games in town […]

It’s that time of year again. The holidays are over, convention season is ramping up, and we’ve all already failed at most of our New Year’s resolutions. But that also means we get to take a look forward to the coming year and see what games have piqued our interests. And that’s what we are […]

2022 has come and gone and a new year is upon us. Last year was filled with quite a few quality board games and even some great times at conventions. While we may have already closed out the year with Tony and Brandon’s Top 10 Board games from 2022, we wanted to give the rest […]

Play This… Not That!

Tony Mastrangeli — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 12:50:42 +0000

It’s the holidays, a birthday event, or just a family gathering—everyone is sitting around, relaxing, letting the food digest and the drink course through the system. The television is on yet… no one is really watching. They seem bored. Mom shuffles to a closet and returns with Clue in her hand, asking others to join […]
