Gloomhaven FAQ/Errata run through and commentary.

March 8, 2019 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Last week, instead of our usual Gloomhaven actual play we tackled the Gloomhaven errata and FAQ.

Unfortunately last Friday we were not one, not two, but three players short. Since I didn't want to play another person's character, or start an entirely new party on short notice, none of us actually played Gloomhaven last week.

Instead Sean and I took at look at the extensive Gloomhaven FAQ over on Board Game Geek. [ READ MORE ]

Jim Henson’s Labyrinth Board Game – Review

March 4, 2019 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

I'm a big fan of the movie Labyrinth. My wife is an even bigger fan. Heck almost everyone I know loves this movie. So when I heard there was a Labyrinth board game out there I felt I had to buy it.

More than a year ago, I picked up the Jim Henson's Labyrinth board game from River Horse Ltd.

Today I'm going to review that game, including letting you know why it took over a year to get it played. [ READ MORE ]
