Muffintime

Lately this is the game that’s been making me laugh. It’s a take that situation where you simply need to get 10 cards and that can be a challenge. The cards are all unique and unexpected, just when you think you’ve won someone will ruin it for you. You really have to experience it firsthand….

Hive

Hive gives me a similar feeling to checkers or chess.  The pieces have such specific movements that you will need to strategize to get ahead of your opponent.  Despite having really simple rules this game can be a challenge for new and old players. There are a couple different versions of this game, I am…

The Golden Ticket Game

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…

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…

Everdell

Everdell is a beautiful woodland themed game about critters creating cities in the woods. This game has a large table presence, the look and feel of the game is gorgeous. At first I thought the tree was a bit gimmicky but it really makes the game pop. The components are great, I especially love the…

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…

Parks

Parks is beautiful game that I fell in love with immediately. Everything about the game is quality, the artwork is gorgeous and tokens are adorable. The game looks great on the table. I love hiking and this theme really shines through. The parks artwork gives you a feel for each park and got me excited…

Tiny Towns

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…
