@CardboardRevolt It's going to be extremely interesting to see how the internet is going to continue to change over the next few years given that the shift in the last few months alone has already been dramatic and overall fairly negative 🙄

We haven’t been reviewing many games lately, the motivation to do so has almost been entirely sapped out of me. Not because our love for board games or writing reviews is gone, but because it’s beginning to feel a bit pointless. Rant below!

Imperial Twing is an obscure game about powerful archmages battling for a magical… “teddy bear”.  It’s a hard one to put into words, but just like the magical items in the game, it might be more than meets the eye. https://t.co/UpQ1IRxTcN

Micro Macro is definitely an interesting and unique game on many levels.  Its childlike artwork and puzzle mingled with crimes and murder is so confusing but extremely delightful and tickles the mind perfectly.  It’s just fun!

Is Dune Imperium Rise of Ix necessary for lovers of this popular board game, or does the addition of Ixian technology overcomplicate things and detract from the tight battle the base game offered? Check out our full review below!

“A board game reviewer plays many different games, so you don’t have to.” We try to constantly keep this in our minds when reviewing games, and something we think many others seem to have forgotten!

Can two investigators tackle Mansions of Madness by themselves, or will this dice-chucking board game make any pair of players go insane? Check out our full review!

Is there a chance the extremely fun betting game Camel Up works with two players, or are the odds against it? Check out our full review!

Where the original Santorini is very clear-cut, simple, and chess-like, New York instead introduces a little bit of luck and chance while also giving players the impression of an even playing field. This makes it a better game for more casual players.

Ark Nova is almost a perfect game, it’s so close, but has a few things holding it back.  The issue is those few things can be quite problematic for this type of game and for some players. Check out our full two-player review below!

We wanted to love Photosynthesis, but it just didn’t keep us rooted to our chairs. It’s such a unique game with an absolutely amazing table presence, but playing it is almost as fun as just looking at it.  Check out our full two-player review below!

We see a bunch of punching in the near future!

The tile-laying puzzle component, the drafting, and everything else in The Isle of Cats seem perfectly well-designed and thought out, but in a way, they almost detract from each other, making nothing shine to its full potential. Review below!

Dominion is a game that looks as old as it is, but one that popularized deck building. It didn’t do so because of flashy art, it paved the way for the genre because of its excellent and streamlined gameplay. Check out our two player review!

Sea Salt & Paper from @StudioBombyx and @Pandasaurusgame is leagues above many of the card games we’ve played in recent years.  Once you get past some initial confusion about the rules, games are quick, aggressive, and tactile in a super enjoyable way. https://t.co/7JUMC6ryOB

Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island is one of the most thematic board games, to the point where actually surviving on an island in real life might be just as difficult as winning a round of this heavy cooperative game.

Cascadia from @FlatoutGames and @alderac will have you feeling all-powerful as you place mountains here, rivers there, and various animals all over.  This simple but satisfying tile-laying puzzle game might be the new king of gateway games. Review below!

First impressions of the Princess Bride Adventure book game might have you asking “A book?” just like the grandson in the classic film, but this rendition of the timeless love story might be the perfect “mawwiage” of a book, a board game, and a movie.

Pyramido has players stacking tiles to create a pyramid and at first glance seems like a neat little game, but some might find there’s nothing magical or exciting hidden within these tombs.
