by Leave a Comment

Licenced board games are always a mixed bag, so I'm always pleased when I find a licenced game that's actually good. Minecraft Builders and Biomes is one of those hard to find, decent games, based on an existing property.

I play a lot of different games but I have to admit I really enjoy a nice heavy game. Vinhos Deluxe Edition from Eagle Gryphon Games is a heavy board game about wine making that I have been itching to try for a long time.

by Leave a Comment

Today I'm taking a look at the deck-building game Tanto Cuore from Japanime games.

Tanto Cuore is an early deck-builder that has its theme steeped in Anime and Japanese maid culture.
