by Mr. Saint I always get nervous writing about really popular games. I sometimes think that if a game is popular enough, the public has made their decision and there is no point in voicing criticism of the game. So here it is: I like Terraforming Mars. Quite a bit in fact. But I alsoContinue reading “Terraforming Mars: Cows in Space!”

Save the Scientist, Save the World: Comanauts Review
by Mrs. Saint The world is ending. The technology meant to save the world is spiraling out of control, creating a miniature black hole and humanity’s suffering continues to worsen as the end draws near. Hope is flickering out. There is only one man who can save us but he’s in a coma. The onlyContinue reading “Save the Scientist, Save the World: Comanauts Review”
A New Challenger: Ken Masters
by Mr. Saint Ken has always been one of my favorite fighting game characters. Going all the way back to Super Street Fighter II Turbo, where his character design broke with the traditional shoto fireball style in favor of a rushdown style that relied on knee bash loops, a superior jab dragon punch, and crazyContinue reading “A New Challenger: Ken Masters”
Board Game Bites for New Gamers: Worker Placement
by Mrs. Saint The other week, we talked about the sheer volume of games and some online resources to help make purchasing decisions a little easier. For the next few Board Game Bites, we’re going to talk about game mechanics. For me, when I was first starting out in the hobby a few years ago, itContinue reading “Board Game Bites for New Gamers: Worker Placement”
Spirit Island: Jagged Earth Expansion Review
by Mr. Saint I have a confession. I said in our Spirit Island Review that one could easily get dozens of plays out of the base game before looking to expansions. Yet, when I had the opportunity to late-pledge on Kickstarter for Spirit Island’s latest expansion, Jagged Earth, I jumped at the chance with onlyContinue reading “Spirit Island: Jagged Earth Expansion Review”
Board Game Bites for New Gamers: Utilizing Online Communities for Game Purchases
by Mrs. Saint As I mentioned in the last Board Game Bites, one of the things that still overwhelms me is the sheer volume of games. When I did a quick internet search, I couldn’t find set numbers yet for 2019 but in 2018 there were over 3,000 new games published and the expectation wasContinue reading “Board Game Bites for New Gamers: Utilizing Online Communities for Game Purchases”
Millennium Blades: An Absolute Triumph
by Mr. Saint No game defined a larger part of my life than Magic: the Gathering. Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) hooked me early, when I received a couple of Revised Starter decks as a birthday present from an older cousin during the summer of 1994. Not even yet 10 years old, a world ofContinue reading “Millennium Blades: An Absolute Triumph”
Hold on to Your Coin Purse: A Bargain Quest Review
by Mrs. Saint The sun is just starting to come up. You’ve been working for hours, dusting the shelves, making sure the items in the window gleam and look their best. After all in just a few hours, the market square will be busy. It’ll be bustling with would-be heroes ready to stock up beforeContinue reading “Hold on to Your Coin Purse: A Bargain Quest Review”
Arkham Horror 3rd Edition – Dead of Night Expansion Review
by Mr Saint The Dead of Night expansion is a small box expansion that does not fundamentally change the rules of the base game of Arkham Horror 3rd Edition (AH3E for short). As such, I won’t be following my normal format in this post, but you can read our review of the base game hereContinue reading “Arkham Horror 3rd Edition – Dead of Night Expansion Review”
Spirit Island: Colonizers Need Not Apply
by Mr Saint It took me way longer than it should have to play Spirit Island. Originally released in 2017, Spirit Island was a game I always planned to demo at every board game convention I’ve attended since it came out. Without fail, the Greater Than Games booth was always too busy, or we’d useContinue reading “Spirit Island: Colonizers Need Not Apply”
