Flashpoint is a cooperative game where you are working together to rescue trapped victims before the building collapses. Firefighters really do have to work at a team so a cooperative makes sense. Having the board be a floorplan with fire tokens really helps carry the theme well. The game looks good and is easy to…

Pandemic
Well I think at this point we are all a little too familiar with pandemics but if you ever felt like you and your friends could solve one yourself, this game is for you. Pandemic is a classic as far as cooperative games go. I hear amazing things about the pandemic legendary series but I…
Mysterium Park
Mysterium Park is basically a haunted amusement park that you will be investigating. You are a physic who is going to communicate with the ghost to solve the mystery of their murder. I’m not quite sure if this is considered a sequel to Mysterium but it is more streamlined and compact. For people who like…
Trogdor The Board Game
Well no doubt about it, this one was an impulse buy. I loved Homestar Runner and Trogdor was my favourite back in the day, so I bought this based on pure nostalgia. I was pleasantly surprised when I played the game and found I actually liked it. The idea of the game is you are…
Decktective – The Gaze of the Ghost
This tiny game packs a big punch. Decktective is an investigation game for 1 to 6 players aged 12 and up and takes about an hour play. Personally, I feel like 6 players would be way too many, I’d prefer playing solo or with 2 players. As for the gameplay, I can’t really say much…

Unlock! Escape Adventures – Squeek & Sausage
I love escape rooms, but with the pandemic in our lives it doesn’t seem like I’ll be going back to one anytime soon. Luckily there’s a few different escape room game options to play at home. The first one I am trying is from the Unlock! series. They are pretty impressive and they seem to…
The Mind
The Mind is quickly becoming one of my absolute favourite games. Its a card game for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up and takes roughly half an hour. Don’t let the simplicity fool you this one becomes tense pretty quickly. I brought this one to a cottage. It was definitely the hit of…
