A Minotaur in sheep's clothing... Pergamemnon is a strange beast, and like many misunderstood creatures, it gets a bad rap. It was billed as a deckbuilder, which it sort of is, but not really. It's got an unusual turn order mechanism that can rub people the wrong way. And most importantly, it's a harsh game... Continue Reading →
You'll laugh, you'll cry... you'll throw your dice across the room! Eindekker, designed by Bob Flood and published by Minden Games, is a throwback to an older generation of games.

So my friend Jared's copy of Conquest finally arrived, and we gave a 2P cooperative game a shot. Hoping for maximum carnage, we chose to play... Continue Reading →
This is an older report of a session of Rune Age, the deckbuilder from Fantasy Flight. I played a number of times before trading it away, but it's a cool, little game. I picked up Rune Age over the weekend, and have been consistently schooled with each solo game I've played (both Dragonlords and Cataclysm).... Continue Reading →
