Tell me that box cover doesn’t look straight out of some weird 1940s kids’ book. At first I was a bit too weirded out to even consider playing this one. It’s creepy. But so many reviewers loved it, so I recently bit the bullet and gave it a shot. It’s…

You know how some people just HAVE to be time travelers? I’m pretty sure that Jacob Fryxelius is a time traveler. Maybe not a full-on Doctor Who, but to publish a game dealing with a virus that takes over the world two years before the outbreak of COVID-19 is really…
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…
So many of us nerds (and maybe even normies) have a very special place in our hearts for The Lord of the Rings. Be it the books, the movies, or simply just the lore and characters. Personally, when I see something that has The Lord of the Rings emblazoned upon…
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…
I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of superheroes. Specifically Spider-Man. It all started when the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie came out – and I’ve been hooked since then. Which is kind of ironic since I hate spiders! So whenever I see any superhero game,…
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…
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…
I have mentioned on several occasions that Sherlock Holmes remains a mainstay of subjects of which I may never tire. Even when considering roles played by actors in recent iterations, I have enjoyed each’s take on the character (with Benedict Cumberbatch being my favorite of the lot). I had seen…
And finally, we reach the last game from my big Dig & Find haul – Capture the Flag. Now, the game of Capture the Flag is near and dear to my heart. I remember many days and nights spent as a child playing Capture the Flag with the neighborhood kids.…
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…
If you’ve ever played a Holiday Hijinks game from Grand Gamers Guild, then the Endangered Rescue series will seem familiar. An 18-card escape room game, but these are based on different animal endangered species from around the world. Think of this as a mashup between the Holiday Hijinks games and…
