This week, we talk to designer JT Call about the new game up on Kickstarter, Imperial Harvest. A two player game, each side faces off in a realm with magic strawberries. The barbarian raiders are attempting to steal the imperial strawberries wh
Like most of America, I watched Superbowl XLIX. While this podcast is spoiler free, it did get me thinking about sports in board games. Why are there so few board games with a sports theme that are any good?
I played and reviewed 12 Realms some time ago. It was a little easy for my taste and ultimately didn’t have much staying power. However, the new expansions, Ancestor’s Legacy and Ghost Town are going to increase the difficulty substantially and
I’m not big on resolutions, but I do like to fantasize about all the gaming that will occur in the coming year. In this cast, we look back on 2014 and talk about gaming stats. We also look forward to 2015 and discuss our goals. What are your ga

The more I play Earth Reborn, the more I like it. While I haven’t yet completed the training scenarios, it still deserves some discussion. I’m only four scenarios in (and Norad was unable to secure the U.S. Constitution), but Earth Reborn is pr
Kickstarter has really become a major fixture in the world of board games and board game publication. Even though some fantastic games get published, there is also a wide array of terrible offerings as well. So how do you avoid the worst while
Tactical minis games are always exciting. They involve a lot of strategy and usually a lot of depth as well. Those inherent aspects make the whole genre fairly interesting.Well, now that FACTIONS is up on Kickstarter, I wanted to know more. Th
