This is the game space:
Each player is given 40 game pieces and gets to place them however he […]

Super Dungeon explorer!
For this week we chose to play Super Dungeon Explorer.

So the character that did the damage that would make the counter come to a loot tile have to draw a loot card […]

Board Game Analysis – Portobello Market
Time for another board game analysis, this time of the game Portobello Market.
This is a game where players compete by strategically placing Market Stalls on the game board, a representation of London (sort of), to score points.
The basics is that you spend an Action Token each turn and place either Market Stalls or randomized Market Visitors for the number of actions gained.
The Action Tokens each have a numeral representing the number of actions that the player will […]
