Read MoreLiar’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 pretty audacious to mess with a classic, so did Arcane Wonders roll the dice one too many times, or does our cup runneth over? Let’s find out!
Read MoreMuch as we love getting together to play games, sometimes it doesn't work out, and we find ourselves all alone. So games with a solo element can come in very handy.

Read MoreLast year publisher AEG brought us Mystic Vale, a deck-building game where you'd add powers to cards by sliding them into sleeves. It was a clever new take on the long-in-the-tooth deck-building genre. Well this Card-Crafting System is back in AEG's latest card game in their Big In Japan line: Custom Heroes. 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!
