Also, a demon and their minions. A blood-curdling shriek is heard in the distance. By the time you arrive, all you find are the slain bodies of a Werewolf, a Mafia, and a Resistance. Is this just a terrible nightmare or has Blood […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/blood-on-the-clocktower-review/feed/ 0 53833 https://www.boardgamequest.com/esc-welt-breakout-games-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/esc-welt-breakout-games-review/#respond Wed, 14 Jun 2023 13:21:28 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=53216 When I was young, I used to enjoy reading the Encyclopedia Brown mystery stories, where the namesake of the series would solve small-stakes mysteries while being protected from the neighborhood bully, Bugs Meany, by his friend Sally Kimball. In theory, there was always a way for the reader to solve the mystery before Encyclopedia Brown […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/esc-welt-breakout-games-review/feed/ 0 53216 https://www.boardgamequest.com/dragonlance-warriors-of-krynn-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/dragonlance-warriors-of-krynn-review/#respond Tue, 13 Jun 2023 13:31:12 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=53761 My introduction to Dragonlance was when I was between fourth and fifth grade and picked up Dragons of Autumn Twilight in a bookstore to take on a family vacation based on Larry Elmore’s incredible cover art and the brief blurb on the back that sounded like the start of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign (spoiler: […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/dragonlance-warriors-of-krynn-review/feed/ 0 53761 https://www.boardgamequest.com/flickfleet-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/flickfleet-review/#respond Fri, 09 Jun 2023 13:14:45 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=53823 One of the great things about Kickstarter is that it brings games to life that you’d never expect.

Bruno must love the letters o-n-i-m-o, as he also the man behind both Kingdomino and Queendomino. Bruno has designed many award-winning games, my favorite of which is Mr. Jack.

I first played Castle Panic back in the early 2010s and really enjoyed it. That enjoyment was eclipsed by Star Trek Panic, which we had a ton of fun with. Now that my kids are starting to finally reach the age where games with […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/my-first-castle-panic-review/feed/ 1 53140 https://www.boardgamequest.com/bag-of-chips-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/bag-of-chips-review/#respond Wed, 07 Jun 2023 12:52:59 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=53311 I don’t think that there are many chips that I do not like. I like all varieties: potato, corn, and tortilla chips just to name a few, and almost every flavor as well. I’m not as partial to barbeque flavors but I’ll eat them under protest. I honestly prefer these salty snacks over all other […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/bag-of-chips-review/feed/ 0 53311 https://www.boardgamequest.com/star-wars-rivals-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/star-wars-rivals-review/#respond Tue, 06 Jun 2023 12:54:13 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=53729 I’ll apologize now—Star Wars has entered our collective consciousness, so it’s hard to write without throwing in a Star Wars reference or two here and there. There are a lot of Star Wars games; some good, some bad, a bit of both. For every excellent game there’s one that screams “danger Will Robinson!” So, let’s […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/star-wars-rivals-review/feed/ 0 53729 https://www.boardgamequest.com/roll-player-adventures-nefrass-judgement-expansion-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/roll-player-adventures-nefrass-judgement-expansion-review/#respond Thu, 01 Jun 2023 13:04:33 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=52723 My game of the year for 2021 was Roll Player Adventures and I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to preview the upcoming Gulpax’s Secret expansion. While Gulpax’s Secret will be new, Roll Player Adventures Nefras’s Judgement expansion augments the original base game with additional material.

What we thought were mounds of dirt and debris shifted before our eyes to groupings of bodies felled during combat. Swords littered about. Missing limbs. And throughout the field a trampled ground of […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/blazon-review/feed/ 0 52623
