Today I’m reviewing Galactic Era, a 4X sci-fi board game game of space exploration and domination. It has technology research, exploration, expansion of your civilization, epic space battles, but also brings its own twist to the 4X genre, in particular with an interesting “light vs dark” game mechanic that...

I recently backed the Black Hole Kyrum Kickstarter for a physical copy of the game, knowing nothing about it, but having read glowing reviews. Black Hole Kyrum is an exclusively SOLO Sci-Fi Board Game, which was originally a free Print and Play. In Black Hole, you play as Jakub,...

Final Girl is a solo horror board game which is very thematic… and a bad dice roll can lead to a very brutal ending for your beloved character. Some people have claimed the game involves too much luck, but in my opinion there is a lot of strategy and...

Always looking for a good deal, I got my hands on a cheap copy of the “Rise of the Runelords” base set of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. PACG was one of the top 200 solo board games in BGG’s people vote in 2021, which is how it got...

Another entry in our “Family Friendly” games, today’s review is Piratatak. This one was certainly a present from the grandparents, as I certainly wouldn’t have bought it myself. It turns out it’s one of those “terrible game but the kids love it”, and as such I don’t mind playing...
