A Game You Can't Refuse - A Single-Take Review of The Godfather: Corleone's Empire

This year at Gen Con, Cool Mini Or not (CMON) made a splash with the latest Eric Lang design, The Godfather: Corleone's Empire. It's a worker placement game for 2-5 players, where the goal is to play as a mob family, and earn the most money by doing gangster-type activities, such as shaking down businesses, and offing your opponents by way of car bombs, drive-bys, and other despicable deeds.

So is The Godfather a Made Game, or should you dump it in the Hudson? Let's find out!

My Cup Runneth Over--A Double-Take Review of Spoils of War

My Cup Runneth Over--A Double-Take Review of Spoils of War

Liar’s Dice is a classic nongamer game. It’s easy to play. It’s portable. And it’s always fun--well, until you’re eliminated. But it’s short so even that doesn’t detract. Today’s review is Spoils of War by publisher Arcane Wonders and designers Jason Medina and Bryan Pope. It’s Liar’s Dice, but with set collection and bidding smooshed onto it.

It's a ladder game where you're adding upgrades to cards to change them on the fly, in an attempt to get rid of your hand of cards. Is Custom Heroes as crafty as it sounds? Or is it just a fistful of cabbage? Let's find out!
