Gamers Chest – A component organiser dream on Kickstarter
Setting up board games is almost always a challenge. Emptying bags into piles that inevitably get mixed up and take up more room on the table than you need. But Be Wood has a great solution in mind, combining the most common organiser components into the Gamers Chest!

Scooby-Doo! Escape from the Haunted Mansion Review
At home escape room games have blown up in popularity this year for obvious reasons. Narrative adventure games have generally been popular as well. But how can you get the best of both worlds without the story feeling forced? Fit it into a theme that already integrates the two! Scooby-Doo! Escape from the Haunted Mansion has jumped to the top of two genres of game styles for me, come in and see why.
Roll Z an App Driven Print and Play on Kickstarter
Smaller Kickstarters have been slowing down lately. Well, ones that have caught my eye. But today a Print and Play game called Roll Z was launched, and it definitely caught my eye. This app-driven card and dice management game should be a lot of fun.
Lost in Straya Survival Card Game on Kickstarter
So a day late, and shorter than normal, but this weeks Kickstarter of interest is a simple card game. How hard can it be to find mobile reception, after all?

PAX Aus/PAX West 2020 Merch and Shelfie Stacker!
Another Wednesday, another round-up on things I am looking forward to! Last week, the Kickstarter for a fun game idea called Shelfie Stacker got bumped for PAX 2020 news. Today, PAX merch is available to order. I didn’t want to push talking about Shelfie Stacker again, so today I talk about two things that are making me spend my money!

Sorry, I am a little late today folks – I thought it was Tuesday! But today an old favourite of mine Castle Panic hit Kickstarter for a new Deluxe version! New plastic castle, mini’s for enemies and wooden tokens. You can even just upgrade your existing copy! Check out more on the site!
Blood Rage Digital Edition Review (and physical game thoughts)
As I wrote last week, I was really excited Blood Rage was getting a digital implemntation. After having a few games up my sleeve both physical and digital, I thought it was time for a full review. At it’s heart, Blood Rage has been faithfully translated from it’s physical form.
But be warned – if you are playing solo, there are some quirks for the developers to sort out still. If you are playing multiplayer, there are many more severe issues to be sorted.
The Messenger sounds interesting, and Burnout coming to Switch
So the one Kickstarter project I was interested in this week, I can’t back. Delivery restrictions – they don’t send to Australia. But an old favourite is also coming to Switch this week. How to choose what to write about?
As the meme says – why not both? The Messenger looks like a brain busting puzzle time, and Burnout Paradise is coming to Switch for driving mayhem!
Dragon Castle Review
Another week down, and I don’t know where it went. One thing that I did enjoy was trying out Dragon Castle during the week thanks to a Steam sale. A great game for a fun conversation and hidden depths, the Mahjong Solitaire inspired Dragon Castle is a game that can be easily overlooked. It’s a pity, because I think a lot of players that would pass on it would find a very entertaining title.
Have a great weekend everyone!
