I’ve made quick friends with some fellow early-rising board gamers. We’ve dubbed ourselves the “8am Heavy Euro” group. During the show, we managed to play Kanban, Railroad Revolution, and Navegador in the mornings before the exhibit hall even opened. And at 8am on the final day of Origins I was introduced to Concordia.

Websites, simulators, and apps were in prevalent use, not only from the greater board gaming hobby but by me as well. I can state with full confidence that I was opposed to digital gaming prior to March of last year. But once the world went into lockdown, I […]]]> https://www.boardgamequest.com/the-captain-is-dead-digital-review/feed/ 0 46080 https://www.boardgamequest.com/a-game-of-thrones-the-board-game-digital-review/ https://www.boardgamequest.com/a-game-of-thrones-the-board-game-digital-review/#respond Mon, 18 Oct 2021 16:07:23 +0000 https://www.boardgamequest.com/?p=45670 I’m a big fan of the world of A Game of Thrones and admittedly am captivated by anything with its IP (e.g. I’m guilty of owning Risk: Game of Thrones) so when we were offered to review the digital version of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, I jumped right on it.

The Soviet Union was a major target of German aggression and an “at-all-costs” defense of the motherland was its most important goal in the conflict.

It allows them to capitalize on the success of one game and create, hopefully, a variant that appeals to a market just itching for a little bit more.
