We have some game suggestions for a historical miniature wargamer looking to broaden their horizons into hobby board games.   Sticking with the theme of history we’ve got two Viking-themed reviews, Skora and the Hall of Heroes expansion for Raiders of the North Sea.   Finally in our week in review, I’ve got first thoughts on both Letter Jam and The Crew at two-player.

Playing board games can be a great way to pass the time and to take your mind off of whatever it is that has you stuck at home. Also, to me, having a lot of time on your hands means it's the perfect time to get some of the more difficult to get to the table games played. [ READ MORE ]

Raiders of the North Sea, Sorcerer and Some Digital Board Game Arena Streaming – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

by Leave a Comment

I only got a couple of physical games to the tablet this week. The first was the fantastic Raiders of the North Sea from Renegade games and the second was a two-player game of Sorcerer from White Wizard Games.

I noted physical games because the other thing we did this past week is start something new. Thursday nights we're planning on live streaming some digital board game plays. This past Thursday Deanna, Sean and I played and live streamed a few rounds of Carcassonne played over Board Game Arena.
Besides streaming Carcassonne the three of us have also been trying out Through the Ages (the new edition) on BGA and enjoying it quite a bit. I also gave Kingdomino a try. Read on to see my thoughts on all of these games. [ READ MORE ]
