Some gamers might not be familiar with Cryptozoic because until recently they have mainly been tied to the World of Warcraft TCG and not much else. However Cryptozoic had a nice presence at GenCon and were especially promoting their new card game called Food Fight. They had blackjack tables set up in the exhibitor hall [...]

X-Wing
August 2nd, 2011 
Dan Spezzano FFG has announced a tactical game called X-Wing which sound like the old X-Wing vs Tie fight computer game. Also sounds like an excellent reason to stop distributing Wings of War. More after the jump.
Star Wars LCG
August 2nd, 2011 Dan Spezzano One of the first games announced by Fantasy Flight is a co-operative LCG. Considering the success of the Lord of the Rings game this is not shocking.
Dust Warfare
July 29th, 2011 Dan Spezzano I’m starting to think that Dust is an important IP for Fantasy Flight games. The amount of news recently regarding Dust Tactics second edition and new figure packs has really ramped up. I remember trying and buying a little known game called Dust back at GenCon 4 years ago and now this little IP has [...]
Gears of War Video
July 29th, 2011 Dan Spezzano FFG has posted a preview video of Gears on their site. I know this game is going to be on sale in limited quantities at GenCon it’s a matter of finding the time to buy it with all my appointments. Go check it out now.
FFG (Fianlly) Gets Around to Giving Us a Little More Blood Bowl Info
July 19th, 2011 admin It’d kind of been a slow news week on the board gaming front, until this afternoon when our friends over there at FFG announced the first bit of Blood Bowl Team Manager news in what seems like forever.
Gears Preview
June 9th, 2011 Dan Spezzano FFG has released another preview of Gears or War. This game is really starting to get my interest. Last month, Fantasy Flight Games announced the upcoming release of Gears of War: The Board Game, a fully cooperative board game for one to four players. Designed by Corey Konieczka, this action-packed battle against a cunning AI [...]
Into the Depths of Small World Underground–A Preview
June 3rd, 2011 admin It’s been a couple of weeks, so I figured I’d better let Dan know that I’m still here willing to fill the spaces between FFG announcements with odd thoughts about gaming. =) As a big fan of Smallworld (I’ve played about 643 games on the iPad), I’m really excited for the new release of Underworld [...]
Adventures Preview
May 25th, 2011 Dan Spezzano It’s going to be a long, long wait until the 3rd quarter of this year for me. The original Adventurers was a personal favorite of mine and a big hit in the house with the wife and kids. This game seems to come out every time we have people over as well. FFG has put [...]
Rune Age Preview
May 24th, 2011 Dan Spezzano I like the lack of clutter on these cards Fantasy Flight posted another preview of the upcoming Rune age game. I have to admit as much as I am growing weary of card based games this one is sounding interesting. Here is a small bit The Monument is designed for players who want a fully [...]
Rune Age Preview
May 10th, 2011 Dan Spezzano FFG has posted their latest preview of yet another deck building game. Remember when FFG used to make giant coffin boxed games with lots of meat to them…yeah me too. Personally I am a big fan of Runewars but I’m pretty sure I have hit my limit on deck building card games.
Into the Digital Abyss: My thoughts on the Small World App for iPad and the Impact for the Hobby
April 7th, 2011 admin So we recently purchased an iPad2 and one of the apps I was most excited about trying was Days of Wonder’s Small World App. I won’t give it the full review, but this incredibly well-done application (See information here) essentially ports Small World’s 2-player board game experience into the tablet. It looks incredible and it [...]
TI Expansion preview and other news.
April 5th, 2011 Dan Spezzano For those that are interested in this upcoming expansion the first preview is up. Go give it a look. The first Nighfall expansion has also been announced it is called Martial Law. I really liked this game but I felt the base set was skimpy on cards. This is a stand alone expansion so I [...]
Now With Even More Curse-y Goodness
March 31st, 2011 admin Here’s a little item that slipped in and out of my brain over the last few weeks: FFG have announced they are releasing a revised edition of the Arkham Horror Curse of the Dark Pharaoh expansion sometime this spring. As a self-described “Arkham-Whore” I admit I was a little taken aback by this announcement. Dark [...]
MageStorm Impressions
March 29th, 2011 Dan Spezzano This isn’t a full blown review. We have a policy that we like to play a game at least 3 or 4 times before doing one of those and since I haven’t played MageStorm yet that wouldn’t be fair. I did want to play this weekend but unfortunately my copy had other ideas. It was [...]
