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.

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…
Campy Creatures
Campy Creatures is a game that’s been on my buy list for a while. It’s hard not to fall in love with this one. The artwork is unbelievable. I love everything about the look of this game, the cards are stunning and the characters are classic. The monster theme comes across really well, it’s definitely…
Smash Up
Smash up is a card game where you are trying to have the most power to control a base. The goal is to win 15 victory points before your opponents. For me what stands out in this card game is mixing the different factions. This game has a lot of expansions available with different factions…
