I had a blast with the DC Comics Deck-Building Game when it rolled in early this year. Well, to be honest I haven’t played DBGs up till that point, so the cool art and simple mechanics of the DC Comics game just kind of blew me and the playing group out of the water. […]
Looks like there’s no keeping a good franchise like The Walking Dead (TWD) down, as we’ve got more games based on the classic comicbook-turned-into-a-very-famous-TV-show franchise coming up! According to various websites including Boardgamegeek.com, we’re set to be getting both RISK and Monopoly sets based the TWD comic books, sometime by year-end. Both the games, […]
If I ever had to recommend a solitaire boardgame, I’d almost always recommend that people roll with Space Hulk: Death Angel – The Card Game. The classic Warhammer 40K card game is a quick and easy adaptation of the classic Space Hulk boardgame. While the original Space Hulk had plenty of wow factor going […]
When Fantasy Flight Games previewed the Jawa bunch from their upcoming The Edge of Darkness deluxe expansion set for the Star Wars Living Card Game, I screamed Utinni so many times, I think I freaked my neighbors out. The Edge of Darkness will satisfy those who want to play the yellow (Smugglers and Spies) […]
It came as a great shock to me to learn that one of my favorite Magic: the Gathering illustrators, Quinton Hoover, had just passed on recently. He also contributed artwork in other games, including the Legend of the Five Rings Card Game. I’ll fondly remember him for being one of the “greats”, for illustrating […]
Finally: the long-awaited Lord of the Rings Deck Building Game, The Walking Dead Card Game and the Castle: The Detective Card Game should be clocking in here during the coming month of May. This bunch of Cryptozoic games are long-awaited, and will finally make it here, reliable sources tell me. The LOTR game is […]
As much as I am a Windows-device advocate, I have to concede that Apple is where it’s at, games-wise. There’s a pretty lively virtual boardgaming scene there too, and the recent The Unofficial Apple Weblog announcement on Talisman Prologue being out this week, kind of sums up what we’ve suspected all along. Yes, playing iPad […]
The Star recently highlighted a Malaysian-made card game that ought to resonate well enough across all segments of society, now: “Politiko”. Believe me I was actually driven to it, after reading a number of positive tweets and Facebook posts – hooray me for staying digitally social! It seems that the game is getting quite […]
Wizards of the Coast has just started their daily previews on the next upcoming Magic: the Gathering expansion set, Dragon’s Maze. Well, it’s good to know that the game’s still trucking along fine. (Yeah, I’m still out of touch, TCG-wise.) The third and concluding set in the Return to Ravnica block, is set […]
Games Workshop’s Space Hulk boardgame is a certified classic. The eminent miniatures game company’s primo reissue set several years back flew off the shelves, predictably. There’s also a card game version which I enjoy supremely, by Fantasy Flight Games, called Space Hulk: Death Angel – The Card Game. Now, looks like there will be […]
