With the release of the third edition of Age of Sigmar, players have had to adjust to a lot of rules tweaks and changes. It’s an exciting time for current players and a great point for new players to try out the game. I’ve gotten a chance to play quite a few games of the […]
One week after announcing the addition of the War Machine Hero Pack to Marvel Champions, publisher Fantasy Flight Games has unveiled the next Scenario Pack coming to the award-winning card game—The Hood. It’s the fourth scenario pack, following the previously released Green Goblin, Wrecking Crew, and Kang decks. The Hood is a supervillain stemming from the […]
I have always been interested in fantastical stories and characters. Even after I discovered comic books and high fantasy, I was intrigued when somebody created a new setting and characters for me to discover, what new things they brought to the genre, and my imagination. Shamans from Project H brings players into a world where […]
Z-Man Games is known for a lot of popular titles, but Pandemic is at the heart of their catalog. One of their newest games coming to shelves later in 2021 is a mix of the Pandemic system combined with the theme of World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King – A […]
Did you know Santorini is in Greece? A beautiful island with iconic blue-domed cubiform buildings lining the coast of the Aegean Sea. What does that have to do with New York? Not a single thing. But Santorini was also the name of a very popular 2016 abstract game that has now been transformed and relocated […]
Whether we like it or not, history has categorically been written by the victors. In Oath, the newest release from Leder Games (Root, Vast, and Fort), this fact has never been more apparent. One to six players compete over multiple victory conditions in a quest for command, and then place quill to chronicle to determine […]
Anyone who has kids of a certain age knows that bedtime can be, how shall we say, trying. I mean it’s my favorite part of the night. Those trying times get drawn out when fears of monsters under the bed or in the closet appear. We make them feel safe and get them back to […]
Today in Germany the 2021 Spiel des Jahres was announced. This is one of the most influential and coveted awards in tabletop gaming. The winner, usually given out to very accessible games, regularly goes on to sell many, many copies of the game. This year’s award went to the very unique “searching game” MicroMacro: Crime […]
We are cruising through July and normally, we’d be deep into Gen Con prep. But alas, much like last year, things are not as normal as they should be right now. Gen Con did release their event grid, and while there are a few things here and there, it just didn’t have quite the variety […]
Sometimes I think John Lennon was right when he said, “There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.” Other times, I’m stepping into a burning field filled with a swarm of vicious rats while attempting to fulfill my ultimate destiny, and wonder if I wasn’t meant to be investigating in the […]

The Unmatched system has been cruising along with regular releases since 2019. We’ve covered quite a few of them here on BGQ, including the original release of Battle of Legends, and the award-winning Cobble and Fog.

It’s finally happened! At last, we have enough funding to construct a team of explorers and travel to Quetzal, the city of sacred birds! Maybe. The place we’re going to isn’t ever really named and it’s unclear if “Quetzal” is the actual name of the place or just a reference to the quetzal species of […]
You are a two-mile tall invulnerable reyna (frog) sent by the First Ones (gods) to harvest terrain from the Shards to rebuild Aeth. Those are some of the terms used throughout a game of Cosmic Frog. I’ll refrain from using too many of those terms for my review, but you should know that’s what you’re […]
The expansions for Ravensburger’s Villainous line of games seem to be coming out at a steady clip. One thing I like about them, other than being themed around some of my favorite movies, is that the villains feel pretty unique from one to another. The designers have done a great job of making the characters […]
July rolls on and it’s been a busy month. A number of companies have talked about upcoming games and expansions they’ll be releasing this year. Make sure you keep an eye on our Twitter feed if you want to say up to date on the latest board game news. But for now, let’s get to […]
Games Workshop surprisingly dropped a new announcement on us this Friday. The fast-paced skirmish game Warhammer 40k Kill Team is getting built from the ground up. This is almost like a new edition launch for the popular game that pits squads of combatants from the world of Warhammer 40k into mid and close ranged combat […]
My start with tabletop gaming was playing Magic: The Gathering in high school. After that, I spent untold thousands of dollars on little rectangular slices of cardboard and traveled all over the greater midwestern United States competing in events. While for the past 10 years or so I’ve barely played any Magic in person, I […]
