Board Game Review: Wonder Woman Challenge of the Amazons, a cooperative programmed movement game set in the DC universe

February 24, 2021 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

At this point, if I see "game by Prospero Hall" on a board game box I know I'm in for something good. Wonder Woman Challenge of the Amazons, a cooperative Wonder Woman board game from Ravensburger, is no exception to this rule. 


In this programmed movement board game, players take on the role of Amazons from Themyscira teaming up to protect the island from threats including Ares, Circe and The Cheetah.
Each of these threats poses a different challenge, brilliantly using the same game components to provide a different game experience. [ READ MORE ]

Game Review: Roguebook a digital deck-building roguelike from Magic the Gathering designer Richard Garfield

February 13, 2021 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

As soon as I read the first press release for Roguebook, a digital game with strong tabletop roots, that stated that Richard Garfield was working on a digital deck-building game I jumped at the chance to check it out. 


Roguebook is a PC game and App (soon coming to consoles as well) that is a digital deck-building game. It's a roguelike, a style of game where you play through the game multiple times improving slightly after each play and hopefully delving deeper into the dungeon each time. [ READ MORE ]

Board Game Expansion Review: What does Creepy Cellar add to Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters?

February 12, 2021 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

In my opinion, the best kids board game of all time is Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters!, a very thematic cooperative board game. Back in 2018, Mattel put out an expansion for this great cooperative kids game called Creepy Cellar. I finally got a chance to try this expansion out.


Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters! Creepy Cellar adds a number of new things to the kids game Ghost Fightin' Treasure Hunters! including a new cellar board, cursed treasures, secret passages, jinxed items and the undefeatable Ghost King. [ READ MORE ]

Funfair Review, a quick family weight board game about building a theme park (the less cutthroat update to Unfair)

January 29, 2021 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Funfair is a theme park building board game for two to four players that plays very quickly but has a surprising amount of depth for such a short card-driven game.


Funfair is an update to the popular hobby board game Unfair. It has been tweaked to be easier to learn, easier to play and less cutthroat. In this way Funfair is a great gateway game and a great introduction to the Unfair line of game products.  [ READ MORE ]

Board Game Review: Back to the Future Dice Through Time a cooperative dice game for up to four players

December 26, 2020 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

It's so great to see so many properties from my childhood getting the strategy board game treatment. Back to the Future Dice Through Time is a great example of a modern hobby board game based on a pop culture licence that's actually good.


I'm so glad we now live in a time when licenced board games are actually worth playing. I'm also impressed to find a new and interesting way to represent time travel in a board game. [ READ MORE ]
