The following is a review of One Week Ultimate Werewolf, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Still Just Too Random One Week Ultimate Werewolf isn’t my first game of the series, having played many of the One Night variants in the past. However, those have never really clicked with me, as they’ve felt just way too random. In this variant we have a box much larger than the One Night versions, with many additional components.

The following is a review of Kaiju Crush, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Rock, Paper, Scissors, Destroy While Kaiju Crush isn’t a very deep game, we’ve enjoyed every play of it. The idea is simple: each player selects a kaiju/monster and tries to destroy as many tiles in the city as they can, keeping in mind what types of tiles they are, and which objectives for bonus points is active.

The following is a review of 5-Minute Dungeon, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Five Frantic Minutes First of all, 5-Minute Dungeon does not actually take only five minutes to play, since the setup, especially depending upon the number of players, does take a couple of minutes. However, once you’re actually setup, 5-Minute Dungeon does take around five minutes, if not less. Players each select one of 5 character boards (with each board having two characters on it) that will determine their deck and special ability.

The following is a review of Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Two Games in One I have a coworker and friend who I’ll occasionally play games with over lunch, and for the rare couple nights. She’s someone who you could totally see fighting in the arenas millenia ago, in a previous life. So it was her that I wanted to play Tash-Kalar with for the first time, given how thematic it is, which works out well since the game itself recommends that your first game be a two-player High Form game, with some of the more advanced cards left out.

The following is a review of Galaxy Trucker, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Too Random For My Taste When it comes to board games that I really enjoy playing I definitely enjoy games with strategy, with a bit of luck involved. Galaxy Trucker has pretty nice components, and an interesting enough dynamic, where each player must build a spaceship and then use it during space travels to handle various events.

The following is a review of the board game New York Slice, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Delicious Fun The idea behind New York Slice is actually pretty simple, and something you may have received a taste of as a child. Given a full pizza, or a cake, how do you best slice it so that everyone gets a fair share? Simple: let the person that cuts it select the last piece.

The following is a review of the Order of the Gilded Compass board game, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Dice Rolling With a Bit of Setup, But Enjoyable First, if you’re not very lucky with dice, you should probably move on as Order of the Gilded Compass relies very heavily upon the luck of the roll. Two to five players take turns rolling dice, assigning some number of them before play continues to the next player.

The following is a review of London Dread, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Cooperative and Atmospheric, But Probably Best With A Single Group of Four London Dread is a cooperative board game for two to four players, where they attempt to travel around London over the course of a day or two, investigating areas, tackling location events, before taking on an antagonist, and then eventually moving on to another story.

The following is a review of the Conan board game, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. Amazing Components, Unique Gameplay, for Dedicated Players/Fans Recently I started really getting into the second edition of Descent, where a single player plays as the overload, and up to four other players take on the roles of adventures in either one-off missions or as part of a larger campaign. So when I had the opportunity to try out the new Conan Board Game, I leapt on the chance.

The following is a review of Deception: Murder in Hong Kong, received as part of the Amazon Vine program. A Nice Bump From Mysterium, But Don’t Expect Short Games I picked up a copy of Mysterium back in July 2016, and recently picked up a copy of the Hidden Signs expansion, since my girlfriend wanted to play the game every time we had a game night, and when she’s interested in a game I try to keep her interested in it.
