Settlers of Catan is an incredibly fun and popular boardgame. A pioneering Euro-boardgame (so-called, due to its origins from there) hit, the game is pretty much a staple in shops and boardgame cafes the world over, including Malaysia as well. So, if you’ve played it, do you think you’ve got what it takes to […]
Each one of us have a favorite hangout. My playgroup for instance, always play Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game in a shopping mall that’s near for everyone in the gang (Tropicana City Mall). When we played Magic: the Gathering and then the World of Warcraft TCG, we alternated between the local […]
Some time ago, I wrote about an all-new version of Risk, named Risk Legacy. (Check out Boardgamegeek.com’s full review here, for the full download on what it is.) Well, lo and behold, the game is now in stock, in better places such as Boardgame Depot, in Bangsar. If you’re keen on a set, it’s […]
Well what do you know, looks like Talisman, the dungeoneering boardgame that’s now made by Fantasy Flight Games might turn out to be one of those boardgames that might have the most number of expansions ever!

If you like a hard-hitting, deep and strategic treatment of the First World War (often dubbed “The Great War”), why don’t you dig into GMT Games’ 2010 release Paths of Glory? For those too young to remember, the cardboard-counters-on-mapboards sort of games were de rigeur back in the 1970s and 1980s. GMT Games is […]
Who hasn’t played or at least heard of Risk? The classic boardgame of world domination is one that still thrills yours truly, as many school holidays were spent battling and tussling for territories using wooden blocks and plenty of dice. Fast forward to today: Risk seems like an expired, tired cliche that seems sordidly out-of-place […]
It’s not very often that you get to enjoy designer boardgames in a competitive manner, so you’ll be stoked to know that this weekend gives you that unique opportunity. Settlers of Catan is the designer boardgame in question, and Bangsar is where the action’s at. Boardgames Depot will be holding qualifier matches for the […]
No, I have not suddenly developed an urge for something that’s seriously macabre. I’m talking about my game group’s latest obsession, Fantasy Flight Games’ (FFG’s) Blood Bowl Team Manager Card Game. If a non-collectible card game that depicts no-holds barred, violent football strikes your fancy, then this game is it. Players assume […]
It’s Halloween month! Okay so technically there’s no such thing as a “Halloween month”, but any gamer worth their salt would definitely be breaking out their favourite horror-themed games, as we inch towards the last day of the month.
