It's the new year, and Fantasy Flight Games' gift to us is Nerekhall: Seeds of Corruption--a full, FREE campaign for the terrific Road to Legend app. Is this move completely altrusistic? Well...no. In addition to the base game, you'll need the Shadow of Nerekhall expansion to play this. That's a brilliant move on FF's part if you ask me. So let's dive into the details of the campaign!
Read MoreToday Jeremiah reviews Onitama, Arcane Wonders' two-player game of martial arts tactics. Onitama was released during Origins Game Fair in 2016 and features quick play, simple mechanics, and deep strategy. So does Onitama win the tournament and get the girl? Or does it sweep the leg? Let's find out!
Read MoreBoard game publisher Alea is responsible for some of the greatest games in the hobby, including Puerto Rico, Princes of Florence, In the Year of the Dragon, and Castles of Burgundy. But for some reason they'd never been graced with the most prestigious award in gaming: the Spiel des Jahres. But in 2015 they finally snagged the coveted award, in the Kennerspiel category, which is for games of slightly more complexity than your typical Spiel des Jahres game.
The winner was actually a reworking of an older game, called Witch's Brew. Now there are a few new wrinkles, including a board and slightly different role mechanisms. So will Broom Service put a spell on you, or just fizzle out? Let's find out!
Read MoreWe're excited to bring our review of Villages of Valeria today. Villages of Valeria is a card-based game in which players become Dukes and/or Duchesses and attempt to build the best village near their castle in the land of Valeria. You'll work hard to build buildings and attract village people (also known as Adventurers...). So is it fun to stay at the YMCA? Or are you better off to go west? Did anyone get that last Village People reference? Let's find out!
Read MoreToday we're once again joined by friend of the blog, and head honcho of Gamelyn Games, Michael Coe.

Read MoreFrom the Better Late Than Never department comes this year's Gift Guide! It's going to be short and sweet this year. We'll each give you a few ideas for Stocking Stuffers, Family Games, Gamer's Games, and Party Games.
