Should you buy… Android: Infiltration?

Gather close, my friends, and allow me to let you in on a secret. A secret, a warning, and some advice. I realise that sounds like the sort of combination someone might use before handing you a leaflet for the STD clinic, but hear me out. I want to talk to you about a board game which won’t be with us for much longer, and like the clinic, I want to help you avoid ending up feeling sad, emotional and a little raw. Continue reading →

Kickstarters: Oni, Res Publica 2230AD

Oni res publica

Indianapolis. The crossroads of America. Dust settles on a town abandoned, the massed tread of shopping bag-laden board gamers now just a faint echo after a football stadium-worth of people realised the end of Gen Con was nigh and just… left. Occasional movement flickers at the edge of deserted boulevards – things that might once have been human skitter in the shadows, crying out for more games to fill their unending hunger. “GAMES” they rasp, waving the remains of dessicated wallets from some long-forgotten reality. “MORE GAMES”.

Gen Con Alert! Four days of board game sneak peeks, surprises and (no) sleep ahoy

Arc Games

If you’ve dipped your toes into the luke-warm waters of board games chat on Twitter or other social medias in the past 48 hours, you’ll have noticed two words have undoubtedly dominated – Gen Con.

Yes I know they’re not real words – more like something you might hear a caveman slowly force out as they adjust to the rudiments of early language – but nevertheless, talk of it is everywhere. So what is it?

Should you buy… Eminent Domain: Microcosm?

Eminent Domain Microcosm
