Gears of War: The Board Game analysis
This week me and some of my classmates sat down and played Gears of War: The Board Game. I haven’t actually played any Gears of War game but I’ve seen others do and I’ve heard quite a lot about it. We had no idea what to expect because how would you translate a 3rd person shooter into a board game? Our first impression was that this game is huge. There were so many components after opening the box. We spent […]

Board Game Analysis: Super Dungeon Explore
And now, once again, the deadline informs me it is time to write a board game analysis review thingy. The board game in question this time is Super Dungeon Explore!
Simply the best:
Starting with the best is starting to be a habit of mine, and I see no reason to break that habit anytime soon.
At any rate, the best of Super Dungeon Explore is the build up, and the drama that is brought forth by said build up. For that […]
