Love the Game.
A few days ago I released a review of the game Spyfall, a social deduction game in which the players have to figure out which one of them is the spy by asking vague yet revealing questions about the scenario they are in. All the players are dealt location and role cards, with one player... Continue Reading →
As regular readers of this blog know, I am a big fan of Splendor. Back in June I entered the UK nationals and came sixth, something which I keep shouting about even though there were only around 40 people in the tournament. I'm so proud of it, in fact, that I have even put it... Continue Reading →
In the world of card games, there are a lot of different mechanics. These range an incredible amount in regards to how the game plays, and this is because cards are such a versatile tool for game designers to use. One such mechanic is deck-building, dating back to the collectable card games of old, but... Continue Reading →
Recently, a few mates and I attempted to defend the galaxy against the evil Empire regime, to destroy the Empire threat, and support the Rebel uprising. We failed...but we had a lot of fun doing so. Imperial Assault is a fantastic game. It's just incredible. If you haven't played it yet, then I would recommend... Continue Reading →

I wrote a review of Biblios purely so I could have the fun of analysing it (you can... Continue Reading →
For those who don't know, Star Wars X-Wing is a model based, tabletop battle/skirmish game based in the Star Wars universe, and published by Fantasy Flight. In it the player takes control of one of three factions (Rebel, Scum, and The Empire), building their fleet and choosing their army lists, to fight friends (or foes)... Continue Reading →
A few posts ago I explored the two popular tactics in Splendor and which one is best in which situation. Was it building an engine and going for lower cards, or going straight for the big wins? The simple answer is it depends on the situation. This time around we are going to explore the... Continue Reading →
As you should know by now, if you have read literally any other page on this blog to date (sorry if you are reading this after the date when I have posted more blogs), I took place in the Splendor National Tournament back in June 2017, and came in 6th place. Yep, definitely putting that... Continue Reading →
