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!
Another week has flown by, and we've got another group of games coming to you via Kickstarter. Unless we say so, we haven't played these. We're only sharing the info with you. So let's get to those games!
Read MoreNow that another printing of Gloomhaven has hit the shelves of gamers everywhere, we thought it might be a good idea to help you sort this behemoth. The folks at The Broken Token are one of many options, but they're the one I have. Have no fear: The pictures in this review only show Scenario 1, so no spoilers. So let's get to the review!
Read MoreFirst of all, if you get that Mono Puff reference, YOU WIN! (There are no actual prizes, though...)
Anyway. In Texas (and most southern states) there is a species of birds known as Grackles. They're black, with an iridescence about them that can make them also appear blue, purple, and even greenish in color. They're known for gathering, or should I say laughing, on telephone lines. (Okay, that's the last Mono Puff reference...)
Grackles is an abstract game for 2-4 players that will have you trying to line up the most of your bird tokens on the modular board. Once the game is over, the player with the most tokens on the board wins.
So is Grackles the kind of fun you want to line up for? Or should we just shoo it away? Let's find out!

Read MoreHello, readers! There was so much news coming out of Gen Con that we had to bump some to a second day. New games! Crazy ideas! Digital surprises! Here's the rest of what caught our eyes and ears from the convention.
Read MoreUnfortunately we couldn't make it to Gen Con this year but there's still plenty of news coming out of Indianapolis. So here's the first part of two posts full of things that caught our eyes and ears. We'll have another batch of news tomorrow.
Read MoreAnother week and another batch of Kickstarter games to shine the spotlight on. Unless we say so, we haven't played these game--we're just bringing them to your attention. So let's see what's out there!
Read MoreThere's just something about them. They're supposed to be random, a non-partial tool in determining the outcome of SO many fates. We hold our dice collections in great esteem and with a fair amount of sentiment. I didn't quite realize what my dice meant to me until, because of a tragic mistake, my collection of 53 dice (including MANY I have no idea how to replace) got tossed into a dumpster during the restoration of our house after the fire we suffered. That's why, when I get a chance to take a look at a new set of dice I jump at it. Because I know how cool, how special, and how fickle these polyhedral objects can be.
Today I'm taking a look at a set of Duskblade ceramic dice from Crit Hit Ceramics. The fellas over at Crit Hit were super awesome and supplied two sets of dice for us to give away in some sweet contests while we were at Origins, and later on they would up the ante and send me the set we're looking at today along with ten sets of d6's for us to give away as a part of our Patreon campaign! So, do these dice hit? Or are they a critical miss? Let's find out!
