I 100% picked up a copy of this game because I loved the movie when I was a kid. For a family game, I can’t get over the quality of components. The wooden pieces and the thick cardboard used on the board really elevate the game. The plastic chocolate bars and the golden tickets are…

Board Game Reviews – Great for Families
Welcome to
Welcome to has been on my list to try for a long time. It’s a favourite for many and there’s a lot different versions and expansions available. I really like roll and write or flip and write games. I find them fun and easy to play solo because there isn’t a lot of set up…
Project L
Project L is a game that drew me in with it’s tetris like pieces. The game doesn’t really play like tetris at all, but it does have puzzle quality to it. The components of the game are great, I love the recessed boards and the plastic shapes. It’s very sleek. The game itself is pretty…
Kingdomino Origins
As I start this post I should say I have never played Kingdomino or Queendomino so I can’t really compare them to this version. Actually I have never had interest in either game but I found a copy of Kingdomino Origins on sale and thought I’d give it a go. Turns out this is an…
A Christmas Story: A Major Card Game
I should start by saying I’m a sucker for nostalgia. I will give a lot of credit to Funko for finding ways to use that love to their advantage. I think it’s a pretty genius idea to come out with these card games. There are a few others and I’ve posted previously about Hocus Pocus….

Tiny Towns is one of those games I had heard a lot about but didn’t really jump out at me. Curiosity got the better of me and I picked up a copy to see for myself. After playing this a couple times I was pleasantly surprised, this game lives up to the hype. In the…
Merry Dissmas – The Family Holiday Party Game
The holidays are almost here and I am always looking for a game to bring out at the family dinners. When you get the family together there are a lot of different personalities and a game that takes a minute to explain usually goes over pretty well. There isn’t actually a lot to say about…
Flashpoint Fire Rescue
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…
