Theology of Games is a multimedia site filled with original content about the happenings in the tabletop gaming industry. We talk games via written reviews, podcasts, and video!
Today we're going to stare into the looking glass/crystal ball/thingie that tells the future, and share the 10 games we're most looking forward to this year! Will they be great games, or will we find out there's no basement in the Alamo? Only time will tell! These are in no particular order.
Read MoreThere was some surprising news on Hans im Gluck's Twitter account over the weekend: They're working through the licensing details of a Star Wars version of Carcassonne. Jeremiah is passed out on the floor, so while he recovers, here's what we know.
Read MoreToday we’re joined by the head honcho at Stronghold Games, Stephen Buonocore. Stronghold Games is responsible for terrific games, such as Voluspa, Article 27, and Survive! Escape from Atlantis—along with two new games getting lots of buzz: Kanban and Panamax.
But today he’s here to talk about his new game, Space Cadets: Away Missions—a standalone game in the Space Cadets franchise, which is currently on Kickstarter, and going like gangbusters!
Read MoreToday we're taking a look at Dungeon Roll (not to be confused with Dungeon Ro-o-oll, which isn't a real thing...) from Tasty Minstrel Games. Dungeon Roll is a dice rolling dungeon crawler for 1-4 players, that will have you delving deeper and deeper into the dungeon in order to gain VP and loot, while looking out for the looming threat of facing the dragon! Let's delve a little deeper, shall we?
Read MoreWe know, it's been half way to forever since we've run a Kickstarter Weekly piece. Sorry about that. We're trying to push out more reviews and previews for you, while handling the many twists and turns of life and blogging. Anyway, enough of that, there are some great campaigns up and running on Kickstarter, so let's take a quick look-see!
Read MoreNeither of us has any experience with Warhammer--the closest we've come is Firestone playing a bunch of Blood Bowl, but that's not really the same thing. So there's no history or expectation for us. We just want a fun game--not one that has to live up to any expectations.
We DO, however, have plenty of experience with Fantasy Flight's other LCGs. We've both played The Lord of the Rings LCG, Jeremiah has dabbled in the Star Wars LCG, and Firestone has had his brain fried playing Netrunner.
So we do have an expectation of something new from a new LCG--other than theme. Does Warhammer 40K: Conquest deliver? Or is it D-Ork-y? Let's find out.
Read MoreDiamonds. They're a girl's best friend. They're forever. And they're the subject of the latest trick-taking game from designer Mike Fitzgerald. Will this game become a classic, like Hearts and Spades, or will it turn out to be cubic zirconia? Let's find out.
Read MoreWelcome! Welcome! Welcome! It's time for our list of the 10 best games we played in 2014. Not all of these came out in 2014, but 2014 is when we played them for the first time. There are inevitably some games missing here--ones we just never got a chance to play, or played in 2015. Aquasphere, for instance. Aquasphere is AWESOME, but I just played it last week, so it'll be on next year's list. So what are we waiting for? The envelopes, please!
Read MoreWe try to keep our posts to news, reviews, and interviews, but this one was just too cool not to mention. We're guessing a lot of you have a game group. But how do you easily figure out which games the people in your group own--and which game you should play? Well now there's a way...
Read MoreRemember when Dominion: Guilds was the "last planned expansion" for Dominion? Bwaaa-haaaa-haaa! Well get ready for another in the blockbuster series: Dominion: Adventures.
Read MoreTwo Geeks, Hundreds of Games, One God. We bring you the best in board game talk, tabletop news and compelling interviews with those in the boardgame industry! Stay tuned for all things gaming, here on Theology of Games!
