What Did You Play Mondays: April 1, 2019 This week was a trick-taking week of lighter games. We played a couple of games of Robber Knights, an early Rudiger Dorn area control game with tile laying. Really simple, fast and fun. A great thinky, filler if you like games like Carcassonne. Gorus Maximus has some incredible artwork by Kwanchai Moriya. This is an easy-to-learn, trick-taking game with a clever scoring mechanism. Quick to pick u

What Did You Play Mondays: March 25, 2019 This week we played these great games: We got sent a copy of Villainous and fell madly in love with this little card game! So simple but deceptively thinky and challenging. We both had several times when we THOUGHT we were about to win only to have victory pulled out from under us. I'm not usually a fan of "take that" sort of mechanisms in a game but this one does it perfectly. Great theme, great

What Did You Play Mondays: March 18, 2019 Had a great day at my FLGS this Saturday. Board Game Bliss hosts a Make New Friends game day and I got to play: This was a super busy week as prepared for our booth at BreakoutCon in Toronto. It was a great event with TONS of people. We had a fantastic weekend and met so many people but didn't get to play very many games. However I did get to play a pre-production copy of the up-coming game, The

What Did You Play Mondays: March 11, 2019 Had a great day at my FLGS this Saturday. Board Game Bliss hosts a Make New Friends game day and I got to play: a 4-player game of Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done (this awesome game is made even better with 4-players!) KOI - this was my first play of Koi and I was really impressed. It's a very simple abstract strategy game with beautiful art and a Koi fish theme. Clever strategic decisions. Just the

What Did You Play Mondays: March 4, 2019 I had a great week of gaming this week! I got to play some new games that I loved including: Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done - this is a very fast, easy-to-learn, sort of race game with an interesting rondel/mancala mechanisms (and really gorgeous art and components by Tasty Ministrel Games) Outer Earth - a sci-fi themed card game about developing planets with a clever mechanism for adding cards to pl

What Did You Play Mondays: February 25, 2019 As we've been preparing for our table at BreakoutCon, this week was a slow week for gaming for us. I played Harry Potter: Magical Beasts Board Game (very light, very quick, very random family game for younger fans of Harry Potter) and played an exciting game of Clank! A Deck-Building Adventure (this game still delivers!) What Board Games did YOU play last week and/or during the weekend? Please

What Did You Play Mondays: February 18, 2019 Since having my surgery, I haven't had the chance to play very much so it was a nice change when we got in a few games on Saturday. My wife and I played 2 games of Azul and decided that we both still really love this game. We cracked open the tiny Chris Handy game, Bus and LOVED it! This reminded me of everything I love about Heartland Hauling Co. A great little game at a great price. Definitel

Board Game Review: Go Dotty
Go Dotty We have really been enjoying Go Dotty! We were lucky enough to have been sent a a pre-release copy of the game. This is a very clever abstract game for 2-players that involves placing tiles to make lines of 3 consecutive tiles of your colour. The trick is that each tile must be placed adjacent to another tile and the pips on the sides of the tiles that touch must be the same. Also it is not legal to make a line of 4 consecutive tiles and your opponent is trying to bl

What Did You Play Mondays: January 21, 2019 This week was a great week of gaming! We played a couple games of my favourite word game, Wordsy and a few games of Illusions and Cover Your A$$ets (great fun!). We played our prototype of Go Dotty (an excellent 2-player abstract game coming to Kickstarter very soon). I got to play Reef with my mother and Haunted Castle with my 5-year-old niece (she LOVES that game). We also celebrated a frie

What Did You Play Mondays: January 14, 2019 This week we played Bunny Kingdom (a much loved game in our house!), and our first play of Junk Orbit (a great light-weight pick-up-and-deliver game that I instantly fell in love with). I also went to our local game day at our Board Game Bliss, made a couple new friends and played Sagrada, picked up and played a copy of Reef (so much fun!), Bang The Dice Game, a couple games of Illusion, Camel U

Board Game Review: After the Virus
After The Virus Bulbous, bobble-headed zombies are coming for your sweet, sweet, bulbous, bobble-headed brain. Don't let the cheeky cover art dissuade you, After the Virus is actually a tense and challenging cooperative deck builder and I'm here to tell you it's excellent. So excellent in fact that I found myself playing the solo game late into a work night; and I'm the responsible type. The game accommodates 1 to 3 players, which in itself is unusual and for me, part of its
