Are You Not Entertained?! Checking Out Gorus Maximus
We stopped in with the folks behind Gorus Maximus to learn about this great game of gladiatorial combat.
Inside Up Games has been working through a Kickstarter for this game and now things have been developing into a pre-order system too.
Come and find out more about this game and maybe add this into the mix. We do love a bit of trick-taking in our games!
PSC Games Take Us Back In Time with Their Historical Board Games - WIN Lincoln!
PSC Games have a lot of historically focused board games with them at Essen Spiel ’18 and have even more on their way.
Comment To Win A Copy Of Lincoln
We are big fans of their deck destruction game Lincoln, as well as Quartermaster General: The Cold War. However, it’s the two new games on their way that have us really excited.
Battle Ravens brings us into the bloody shield walls of Viking combat, while Blitzkrieg lets us experience the conflicts of WWII in a new way. Both of these games are coming to Kickstarter soon.
Which game are you most excited to see?
Pick Up A Party Game From Big Potato Games + WIN Don't Get Got!
Big Potato Games are kings and queens of the party game. They have designed a lot of fantastic games which work as a great gateway for those who would normally never consider looking at a board game.
Win A Copy Of Don’t Get Got!
We stopped in with them to talk about some of the new games they have at their disposal and what they think might be a great shout for those of you who might have non-gamer friends.
Holding On & Getting The Lowdown From Hub Games - WIN Holding On!
Ryan stops off with Hub Games to talk to them about how things are going with them and Holding On: The Troubled Life of Billy Kerr.
Win A Copy Of Holding On
You can actually see a Let’s Play of this game that we did with them HERE and get a feel for how it plays on the tabletop but it is safe to say that it is quite the hit in the feels as you get stuck into it.
Paradox Interactive Take Their PC Games To The Tabletop
Paradox Interactive work on some amazing PC games and they are now working with a selection of different companies to make them into tabletop games.
You’d be surprised how many folks create their PC games based on initial concepts which existed in cardboard and plastic form.
This means that we’re going to be seeing the likes of City Skylines, Europa Universalis and more coming to the tabletop and Ryan has got the lowdown.
Understanding Relationships In Fog Of Love + WIN The Game!
Fog Of Love is a firm favourite of many folks right now in the board gaming world. The team behind the game have recently released a bunch of different expansions for it AND some alternative covers to show off that love truly is for everyone.
Win A Copy Of Fog Of Love (With Whichever Cover You Wish!)
We take some time to learn more about this fascinating game which helps you chart a relationship between two people including the ups, the downs, and all of the funny bits in-between.
Would you like to see us play this on a livestream?
