Halo: Campaign Evolved is a faithful yet modernized remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign.
Everdell Emerland is the 6th standalone Everdell spinoff, taking the beloved series into the jungle this time around. Its use of double-sided, upgradeable cards make it unique mechanically, but is it different enough to justify its own expedition, or should it have stayed at basecamp?
15.5% of the United States’ population plays Clash of Clans. It’s been downloaded over 600 million times since its release in 2012, and somehow, it’s taken 14 years for Clash of Clans to hit tabletop. Perhaps Supercell was waiting for the right designers? We have Eric M. Lang and Ken Gruhl to thank for The Epic Raid, the first Clash of Clans board game. Is it a worthy implementation of the app, worth raiding your Friendly Local Game Store for, or is there not enough loot in this village to justify any kind of pillaging?
Magnetized and customizable vehicles, 20min playtime, simple rules, and a WWI-inspired battlefield. Can Gruntz deliver on a gateway wargamer’s dream? Read on to find out if this one’s ready for the frontlines or needs one more inspection in the factory before it’s battle-ready.
Just in time for the FIFA World Cup (and specifically USA vs Bosnia And Herzegovina) Golden Goal allows players to play out the excitement of a 1-goal-takes-all scenario. Strategically position your players, outmaneuver your opponent, and get a little lucky to win this pocket-sized game. So, is this a no-brainer starter, or should you leave this one on the bench?
