Century: Golem Edition Review

13/02/2024 No Comments

It’s time for our Century: Golem Edition Review!

Century: Golem Edition is a re-themed version of Century: Spice Road set in the world of Caravania. In Century: Golem Edition, players are caravan leaders who travel the famed golem road to deliver crystals to the far reaches of the world.

We recently had the opportunity to play this popular reimplementation of Century: Spice Road from Plan B games.

We had the chance to play more than a few games at the time, but we chose to play Century: Golem more because it’s a very fun game. The Mechanics, which are exactly the same as Century: Spice Road, are well designed and elegant. The theme and components are what took the game a step above for us. It’s beautifully illustrated and well-crafted with colorful “gems” and great inserts for easy set up.

Having played it we love it, but is it worthy of a spot in our collection? Listen to our Century: Golem Edition Review to find out.

Hadrian’s Wall boardgame review

31/01/2024 No Comments

It’s time for our Hadrian’s Wall boardgame review! When visiting the North of Britannia in 122 AD, the Roman Emperor Hadrian Augustus witnessed the aftermath of war between his armies and the savage Picts. In a show of Roman might, he ordered a wall to be built that would separate the Pict tribes from the rest of England. Grand in its design, the wall stretched 80 Roman miles, from coast to coast. In the game, Hadrian’s Wall from garphill games and Bobby Hill with art by Sam Phillips, it’s your job to spend 6 years building and improving a 1-mile section of the impressive megastructure. each year you receive resources which you must spend wisely to make your mile castle prosper and repel the Picts attacks. Although it is an intimidating game out of the box it is quick to learn and forgiving despite its complexity. If you enjoy games such as Dinosaur Island Roar and Write, or Raiders of Scythia this game might just be the perfect addition to your collection. Perhaps you enjoyed our Hadrian’s Wall boardgame review so much that you would like to buy a copy of your own. If so, follow the links below find it in retail.

Marvel Dice Throne Review

19/01/2024 No Comments

This week we talk about and do our Marvel Dice Throne Review. We’ve been playing this one for a few weeks after I found it on sale in EB Games. I’ve kind of wanted this one for a while because I’ve heard good things about Dice Throne, and I like Marvel stuff. Alison was not so keen on the Marvel stuff, but it is fun to compare the mechanics between this and similarly themed Games.

In Marvel Dice Throne, you become one of eight of Marvel’s most famous heroes, including Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Loki, Thor, Doctor Strange, and Miles Morales Spider-man!

We actually only played with Scarlet Witch, Loki, Thor, and Miles Morales Spider-man since the other four characters are sold separately. That being said, we have had plenty of fun with just them.

Is Marvel Dice Throne fun? Absolutely. Is it better than the other Marvel themed games that we have played? Listen to our Marvel Dice Throne Review to find out what we thought.
