How space you gonna need: The Big Score

June 01, 2019 04:09

How much Space you gonna need?- I was tempted to add another game here, but refrained, this episode I tackled The Big Score from Van Ryder Games! This one is unique because it scales well to it's six player variant, and also it has two distinct phases, that not only see you playing a distinctly different mechanical game, but also will require different space on the table. So as with all of these segments, I use a nominal 6x4 space. (So yes, this is a part of the reason I had my table made to...

Call To Adventure Volume One

May 04, 2019 08:33

I Rather like that I have titled this volume one, it seems fitting, given the storytelling nature of this game. Not that it tells the story for you, oh no it in fact leads you with hook after hook to weave your own tale. I like the heady mix of doing what I think is best i.e. ‘what I want to do’ and having to deal with the best available, or only option at the time to you (i.e. consequences of your own actions.) It is very refreshing! And just like last times look at what I think is a fantas...

Res Arcana. Sand Castle Games – Tom Lehman designer - Julien Delval Cover and Card Art   I thought a bit about this one before I purchased and to be honest the artwork drew me in, it looks compelling in the promise of rich interactive world underneath the skin of the game.

A Deeper Look: Solo Gaming

September 03, 2018 17:05

Playing Solo, or by yourself What to look out for: First up let’s discuss a couple of important points I think need to be addressed: the difference between a genuine solo experience in a game and something that may be able to be played solo. They are very different experiences, often the main difference being depth of play, mechanics and immersion. I believe they are both very important and if you are looking to get into solo play but are not sure then this is a surefire gateway into the...
