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!
Today's post is a little different. We recently found out about a game designer named Lee Garvin, who's gone through a really tough time. Another game designer decided to help his friend Lee out in the way he knows best--designing a board game. It's on Kickstarter, and it'll help out someone in need. Let's check it out.
Read MoreOh those fickle geishas. First they want flowers. Then they want parasols. How can a person keep up?! In Hanamikoji, two players compete for the favor of seven geishas in the most elegant tug of war you've ever seen. Is Hanamikoji a cherry blossom on the wind, or a flat note on a flute? Let's find out!

Read MoreA long time ago, Donald X. Vaccarino designed a little game called Dominion, creating what we gamers call deck-building, a new genre that has had many, many additions since then. One of the games to use the new mechanism was Star Realms. Star Realms burst onto the scene as an inexpensive 2-player deck builder that came in a small box for just $15. Since then it has grown. Oh has it grown. Lots of expansion packs, variants, and even a mobile app have made it one of the most successful deck-building franchises to date. And for a good reason: it's FANTASTIC! So when Rob Dougherty (co-designer and founder of White Wizard Games) handed me a pre-release copy of Star Realms Frontiers, the latest and greatest in the lineup, let's just say I was a teensy bit excited! Star Realms Frontiers is a standalone release featuring 80 new trade row cards, and 8 over-sized Mission/Boss cards for solo and co-op play! So, does Star Realms Frontiers kick it into Hyperdrive? Or should it be chucked out the airlock? Let's find out!

Read MoreI never thought I'd be a party game guy. But here I am, 14 or so years into this hobby, and I play some sort of party game nearly every week. Time's Up. The Resistance. Werewords. Codenames. I keep thinking I don't need another one. And I thought the same thing when I first saw Decrypto, a team-based game of giving clues and intercepting codes. Has Decrpyto's fun been compromised, or is it the spy who loved me? Let's find out!
