Istanbul The Dice Game Review
It is a rare game that can be transferred from one type of game to another. Istanbul the Dice Game is definitely one such experience – a lot of fun to play, easy to teach, and retains the essence of the original board game.
So how do my review scores actually work?
So I have been rating games for a while now. But something came to light this week. A page I thought was on the site isn’t – how I actually rate the games! So here is an explanation for how my rankings work.
Escape the Dark Castle Review
Want to know a game that the rest of the world seems to love, but Tom Vasel hates? Welcome to Escape the Dark Castle! This is my favourite quick cooperative/solo game in a long time!
Time Carnage Review
Time Carnage is a stationary wave shooter that sees you travelling through time shooting everything sci-fi tropes require you to. Enemies include Zombies, Dinosaurs, Robots, and finally undead Skeleton warriors. This isn’t a groundbreaking game, but I am having a ton of fun playing it.
World Championship Russian Roulette Review
If you have a darker sense of humour and love Skull, this is the game for you. Tuesday Knight Games and Anthony Burch have hit it out of the park with World Championship Russian Roulette – but by its very nature, it won’t be for everyone.
Review: Destiny 2 and Curse of Osiris
Generally speaking, I am not a fan of first-person shooters or online multiplayer. There are always exceptions, but until recently multiplayer has been a rule that has been pretty well enforced. And then came along Destiny 2.
Professor Evil and the Citadel of Time Review
Professor Evil and the Citadel of Time is a fun puzzle heist game that emphasises cooperation and agile thinking. I have talked about it a fair bit the last couple of weeks.
Love Letter Review
Love letter from AEG is a simple game and a whole lot of fun to play. In fact, it’s so good, it feels like Monopoly is the only game with more versions of it! So today I review the classic game and three different versions as well!
2017 Spiel des Jahres winner Kingdomino Review
Kingdomino is an excellent example of the type of game that the Spiel des Jahres looks for. Quick, fun, easy to teach and learn. it’s no wonder it won board gamings highest honour in 2017.
Splendor is an addictive and simple game that lives up to its name
Splendor is a game that came out and grabbed a large portion of the gaming world by storm. It is simple, addictive, and while the mechanics are identical no game plays the same way twice.
