Power Grid – great strategy board game
Power Grid is a fantastic strategy board game. While the theme may not seem very exciting, it’s a game that easily made my Top 14 Best Board Games.
It’s not a game that appeals to mom, since she prefers lighter games with elements of luck. So I won’t be asking her to play Power Grid. This game is best for when I’m in the mood to get my strategy on!

One of the classics in board games, a great gateway into the euro style games. This app is a good one.
This is a great simple game, Millions of board game lovers became board gamers from this game (along with Settlers of Catan, and Ticket to Ride) Give it a try.
Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Space Alert in Tabletop Games
Mar 8, 2018
Any regular reader of Board Game Quest probably knows by now my love for cooperative board games. Much likes playing the game of Craps in the casino, it’s a lot of fun to have a group of people working together towards a common goal. You win together, you lose together. Thus, enter the newest cooperative board game to get reviewed here: Space Alert.
It also has the honor of being, spoiler alert, my absolute favorite cooperative board game on the market today. Space Alertcombines chaotic real time game mechanics with cooperative game play for what amounts to a really fun experience.
Original Rating: 4.5/5

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated Orléans in Tabletop Games
Mar 7, 2018
Orleans is a bag-building and worker placement board game. You must increase your followers to take more actions, get board position and gain more VPs.
Orleans is a mid-weight board game with worker placement and area control mechanics. You must thoughtfully build your crew of followers in order to win.
The components for this game are very nice the art looks medieval and the tiles and chits are all durable. The rules are well written and easy to follow too.

Star Wars: Rebellion review: A fully operational 4-hour board game
Looking at the box for Star Wars: Rebellion, the massive new two-to-four-player galactic board game from Fantasy Flight, I had only one thought: "Look at the size of that thing!"
Loosely based on the 1998 video game of the same name, the board game version of Rebellion is ludicrously outsized. The galaxy, too large to fit on a single game board, here sprawls across two. Rebel and Imperial forces aren't represented by cardboard but by 153 plastic miniatures—including three Death Stars and two Super Star Destroyers.
