Poseidon's Kingdom Review

Under the sea! Under the Sea! There'll be no complications, just friendly crustaceans, under the sea! Unfortunately your friendly crustaceans have been kidnapped by the Kraken and it’s your job to free them from his tentacled grasp and so begins the game of Poseidon's Kingdom, and a bright friendly colourful game it is too.

Heldentaufe Kickstarter Review

Heldentaufe Kickstarter
You may not believe it but reviewing Kickstarter games can often be a stressful affair. Getting sent the game a few days before the Kickstarter begins, trying to schedule in a few games and then furiously typing up a review while there's still plenty of time left on the project.  Heldentaufe is a little different, as instead of a playing a physical version of the game around a table, this Kickstarter review is based on an online implementation that you can play right now.

Announcing the Polyhedron Collider Cast

Polyhedron Collider Podcast

A Polyhedron Collider Podcast has been something I have been thinking of working on for some time.  Podcasts are my main source of tabletop gaming reviews and information, so it made sense for me to do the same.

Its the very first podcast, so the quality will need some improvement as will the format, but hopefully what we have done is a good start.

Space Crusade Returns

textProdos Games announce Space Crusade Remake Space Crusaders

Update: Prodos Games have announced a U-turn on the model design and will be making a PG-13 version, more details here.

Original Story: Space Crusade is back, or should that be Boob Crusade. Prodos Games, those of Warzone Resurrection and Alien vs Predator have remade the classic 90s sci-fi board game (that we reviewed just a few weeks ago by the way) and understandably there have been some changes, but the changes are not what most people were expecting.
