Party Like It's 1492 (A Review of Old World New World)

There's a lot of debate about who, exactly, "discovered" the Americas - Christopher Columbus, the Vikings, the Chinese, a lost tribe of Israel, or even aliens.  Now, with one of Victory Point's latest titles, you can make sure the history books get it right - it was YOU!  It may not be the vast American continents, but a New World beckons nonetheless with all its riches, honor, renown...and dangers.  Can you survive hostile Natives, an unwelcoming environment, and competition from your Old World neighbors to claim both land and glory?

A Brief Tale of Norse Tiles (A Review of Voluspa)

In Norse mythology, Odin sacrifices his eye to gain great wisdom.  That's him on the cover of Voluspa, watching you with his one good eye, judging your moves.  Will you be lucky enough to have him on your side, whispering useful tips in your ear like his trusted ravens?  Or will you team up with Loki and Fenrir to dominate the ever-evolving world of Norse tiles? Will you tell a tale as timeless as Voluspa? Probably not, but luckily playing won't take nearly as long.

The Sky's the Limit (a review of Sunrise City)

I was playing WarCraft III with @Futurewolfie and one of our friends a few years ago. We were on a local network, each on our laptops or desktops, our positions and strategies unknown to the others. I was furiously clicking, commanding my workers, building my army, preparing for battle. I had all sorts of buildings, my upgrades were maxed out, and my little city was beautiful.

I was out of the game almost as soon as my location was discovered.

The reason? I was playing WarCraft like it was Sim City.

I've abandoned computer games for the most part, but I've taken my desire to build into the tabletop realm. Even after several years in the hobby, though, I hadn't found a game that mimicked the experience of building a city from the ground up.

Until I saw Sunrise City from Clever Mojo Games. But is it worth breaking ground for? Find out below!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat (A Review of Tahiti)

Ever dream of lounging on a warm, sunny beach; next to a crystal, blue lagoon; with soft, black sand snuggling between your toes; and fragrant palms breezily swaying above? Well then, the beautiful island of Tahiti awaits! This South Pacific paradise has attracted Polynesians, explorers, and countless tourists for hundreds of years. Now Minion Games takes you there with their new and aptly-named title. There’s just one, small snag. You’re not there for a vacation. Unless you want to call it one of those “working vacations.” That’s right, you’ll be rowing until your hands are calloused from isle to isle, hoarding as many of the rapidly diminishing resources as you can before the whole volcanic shelf goes the way of Easter Island!
