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!
If there’s a master of the modern cooperative game, it’s got to be Matt Leacock. He created the seminal Pandemic. Then Forbidden Island. And Forbidden Desert. And Pandemic: The Cure. And now he’s going retro, with a Kickstarter for a new cooperative game based on the classic Thunderbirds franchise from the ‘60s.
Read MoreToday we're reviewing RARRR!!! from APE Games--a game of giant monsters, card-drafting, and giant monsters... Did we mention giant monsters?
Read MoreGood news, everyone! We're getting more cards for Warhammer 40,000: Conquest--and a whole new Faction--in the form of a deluxe expansion called The Great Devourer!
Read MoreThanks, everyone, for entering the contest. But there can be only one winner. And that one is...
Read MoreIf you were one of the 500+ backers who helped get Quiver Gaming Gear Mats off the ground, this isn't much news to you, because you received the email that we did 7 days ago. But we really thought it was worth noting writing up this bit of news, as Quiver attempts to make good out of a tough situation.
Read MoreAfter much speculation--and a lot of hoping --it looks like the deck-builder Arctic Scavengers is finally getting a real release of the fabled Recon expansion.

Read MoreIf you’ve followed our Kickstarter Weekly posts and our interviews, you might have noticed that we sometimes talk about topics that aren’t directly related to the tabletop gaming world. We’ve featured a campaign for a documentary on Dr. Demento, interviewed movie directors, and had a chat with one of our personal heroes of comedy and culture, Mike Nelson of MST3K and Rifftrax fame.
Inexplicably, Mike agreed to come back to Theology of Games for another chat--perhaps because Rifftrax has just launched another Kickstarter Campaign.

This week we're previewing the latest from Stonemaier games: Between Two Cities--a semi co-op tile-placement game for 3 - 7 players. It's a game of city planning and building, and it has nothing to do with a novel by Dickens, as our flavor quote would have you believe... Stonemaier Games has a ridiculously pristine track record when it comes to fulfilling their promises and delivering games that are not only a TON of fun, but also comprised of great, high quality components. Today we're looking at a prototype, so the images you see are definitely not final, but we can surmise that the finished product will be spit-shined and looking slick when it hits your doorstep or FLGS shelves.
Let's jump in and take a look at Between Two Cities.
