I’ve blogged before on how I’m steadily liking Fantasy Flight Games’ Star Wars Living Card Game (SW LCG). It’s grown on me I have to admit, despite certain kinks and dislikes I had (for one, not all the artwork was excellent I thought) initially. But more plays on a single Core Set product has […]
Fantasy Flight Games’ amazing array of boardgames and card games gets another title, as it announces Gearworld: The Borderlands, a post-apocalyptic boardgame for two to four players.
