Bronze4Life StarCraft 2 Stream

I’ve been playing StarCraft 2 for about three years. I’ve also been watching StarCraft 2 games played by others for the same amount of time. All of the games I’ve watched were streamed online, meaning I went to a Web site like Major League Gaming or Twitch.tv and observed people all over the world playing [...]

Zombicide is an amazing game. The basic game came out last year, and the first two expansions plus a shit-ton of bonus content is coming out this September thanks to an awesome Kickstarter campaign. The base game is almost perfect. Here are some adjustments we’ve made so far. Tags: featured, zombicide

Users could play the base game and almost all of the expansions for free. The person who wrote the code and hosted the site (to my knowledge) ran it [...]

I Couldn’t Wait: Zombicide Base Game

I’ve endured over 20 days of the Kickstarter campaign for the expansion of co-operative board game Zombicide (here’s my write-up about the Kickstarter effort). With 10 days left the Kickstarter has raised over $1.2 million dollars and has achieved countless stretch goals and bonuses. I missed out on my chance to buy the base game. [...]

Quarriors Dice Game Review

I mostly play either cooperative games or slightly competitive games. Yes, we have a few dickpunch games like Risk, China Town, Small World, Monopoly, etc but by and large we like to keep it friendly. I’ve seen too many people get bent out of shape over a board game to enjoy it any more. We [...]

Zombicide: Season 2 Cooperative Zombie Boardgame Kickstarter

My friends Ajar and ElJay come over for our weekly burger and game night on a regular basis. Sometimes we play games that we own, sometimes they bring over games. I bought a few games thanks to them, including Ascending Empires and Elder Sign, which I should really get around to reviewing. They also own [...]

Ascension: Online Kickstarter Has Three Days to Go

I was going to write about this last week, but I had so many posts going on this fell off the calendar until today. Deck building card game Ascension is a wonderful game. I’ve been playing it since the first set and it’s definitely one of our top 10 games. However, are two big problems [...]

Mayday Games Magnum Ultra-Fit Copper 65 MM X 100 MM Card Sleeve Review

I recently purchased the card game 7 Wonders. The cards in that game are sized differently than most games. The 7 Wonders cards are taller and a little wider than, say, Magic the Gathering cards or the cards found in Quarriors, etc. I searched Amazon for cards that would fit 7 Wonders, and I found [...]
