GenCon 2013 – Board & Card Games Part 2
As with yesterday’s post there are more Board Games coming out at GenCon than you can imagine! I’ll likely need to do a follow up post on the games that I personally find tempting. Games after the jump! Game SaluteSerpent Stones – http://gamesalute.com/games/game.php?game=10Serpent Stones is an interpretation of an ancient...

It is either a sign of the times within the hobby or I’ve really not played as close attention to GenCon as I thought I did previously. The level of Board / Card Games being released this year is huge. I’m fairly certain that in comparison to the RPG releases...

Wizards Of The Coast don’t have an exhibitor stand at Gen Con this year. Something that has caused a bit of a stir to say the least. Now whilst I can understand that this might be seen as a strange move by WotC at the same time they do have...

Continue reading...Is everyone having fun? Including you?
The title says it all really. Tabletop Games are just games that are played on a tabletop. Games are an activity providing entertainment or amusement and as such should be fun. So how does this turn into a principle rather than just happening by default? Well… Not all games are...
Continue reading...Only buy it if you’re going to use it.
When my gaming was going through a drought I still bought games and expansions and scenarios and magazines (when such things existed) and and and… A lot of this was down to me trying to keep my toe-in as it were. Keep in the loop of what was happening in...
