It’s weird, I know, but I have never seen any of the “Planet of the Apes” movies. Not the old ones. Not the new ones. I have seen bits and pieces, but not the whole movie. Laura asked me if this game is like those movies and I replied, “Kinda…”…

In this day and age, there is no shortage of pirate-themed board games. The real challenge comes in finding one that blends the theme and gameplay into an immersive experience. So when we were given the opportunity to play and preview The Pirate Republic: Africa Gambit, I knew we had…
One of the very first games I bought for my collection when I entered the hobby was Mysterium. A murder/mystery game of deduction? I was hooked! However, there were some aspects that I wasn’t too keen on. So when I saw Mysterium Park on the shelf at my FLGS, I…
That’s cool box art, isn’t it? For a game about building buildings, I expect to see some awesome buildings on the box. I am both shamed and embarrassed that it has taken me close to year to get this game reviewed, but I am hoping to invoke the, “Better late…
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m a sucker for a gimmick in games. Sometimes they fall short and really are nothing more than a gimmick, but other times they really are unique and bring something new to the game. So a couple of years ago when I was…
I’m big on series. I prefer a TV series to a movie because it allows characters to be better fleshed out, and conflicts to be better developed. I suppose that love has translated into my board game tastes as well because I originally reviewed the OG Horrified as a Solo…
You know how you’re just chillin’ at home with your pet sabretooth tiger and then all of a sudden your neighbor decides he wants to boast about the village that he is way more religious than you? Isn’t that just a bummer? Oh, and get this: he also thinks he…
If you know me or Travis, you know that we’re both big fans of Disney/Pixar. I grew up with the classics, and still enjoy pretty much everything that has premiered in my adulthood. I always hate being asked, “What’s your favorite Disney movie?” because that is SO hard to answer…
One thing that I love about social media is how it allows people to share their games and experiences with the world. And that’s how Tortilla Slap came onto my radar. Persuing TikTok one day, I saw this game as a ‘challenge,’ and immediately knew that I had to try…
I will say what I’m sure every one of you are saying right now: There’s a surplus of sloths? Where? How do I get one then?? And if there IS a surplus, why does it cost $6,000 or more to buy one online? If you had a pet sloth, what…
When it comes to push-your-luck games, I’m usually not a fan. The balance between risk and reward is something that can stress me out, especially in fast-paced games. But when I came across Chicken!, a little push-your-luck game from Scott Almes (of Tiny Epic fame), I decided I’d give it…
We at Purple Phoenix Games are fairly new on the TikTok scene (check us out!), but it’s been a great place to connect with other gamers, content creators, and publishers! And that’s how I came across I’m Right You’re Wrong. So without further ado, read on to learn about this…
With the immense size of the board game industry lately, so many new games are brought to market every single day around the world. But due to logistics, not all games are available in every country. Which is a bummer. Fortunately for us, though, publishers can acquire the rights to…
