Imagine, if you will: You're a wizard. So are your friends, except they're not your friends! They're your competition!

Now picture this: There's a crystal, called The World Crystal, and you and your (not) friends all want to control this crystal. So how do you do that? By battling over shards of the World Crystal by slinging spells around and collecting shards of the Crystal.

That's pretty much what's going on in Manasurge. It's a game for 2-6 wizards, that plays in 20-45 minutes. So, is Manasurge a Fireball blast, or does it fizzle out? Let's find out!

The realm of Ethnos is facing a new era. The six kingdoms have been left vacant and the twelve tribes have been scattered, and it's up to you (the players) to gather and band them together to reclaim the land. At least that's what we get from the back of the box. Ethnos is a set-collection card game with an area-control scoring mechanism for 2-6 players that plays in about 45-60 minutes. 

So is Ethnos a Giant hit, or is it just trying to Troll us...?

Well, it seems the Sages of the four elements (Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire) are battling for dominance. Only will reign supreme in this abstract board game for 2-4 players, from Rather Dashing Games. 

So does this earth, wind, and fire other abstracts, or is it all wet? Water you waiting for?! Let's find out!

A long time ago, in galaxy far, far away... Okay, it was this past Christmas in my own home. I managed to somehow score a copy of Imperial Assault, and over Christmas break my boys and I got it on the table. It was immediately evident that this game was in dire need of a custom insert/organizer. There are a ton of different card types, minis, tokens, and all of the modular board pieces! It just so happens that the nice folks over at The Broken Token have just such an item in their catalog, and they were kind enough to send one my way. Here's a look at my journey from a box full of components to the sweet bliss of organized game components!
