Dulce from Stronghold Games

Check out what we thought of this shared input, confectionary empire building board game featuring a very cool byproduct system where the resources used at one Cafe may be able to feed another. Plus chickens, highly caffeinated chickens.

Dulce from Stronghold Games

This confectionary empire building game where every player deals with the same inputs each turn really surprised us with its depth and complexity. This is no party game, and to me that's a good thing.

Review on the Blog: Drop It from Thames & Kosmos

A dexterity game that has way more depth than you would guess based on its toy-like look.

My friends call this one Connect Four for gamers. Other call it Chaotic Evil Live-Action Tetris.

We return to Valeria in our Review of Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria from Daily Magic Games

Find out what's changed since we previewed it in 2020 and what we think of the game more than two years later (spoiler: we're still playing it)

#Valeria #Boardgames #Review #BoardgameReview

We love many abstract games but our 1st play of Passtally fell flat.

Fiddly. The odd-shaped tiles didn't stack well, not a lot of variety in patterns and we both had several turns where there was very little you could do that was effective or satisfying. Poorly written rules didn't help.

Gonna pass on this one.

Classic Review

Back to the Future Dice Through Time

A cooperative dice game from Ravensburger

The best bit is that you could leave dice in the past for someone to use in the future.
