On the Table: ‘Zombicide: Black Plague’ Board Game Review
The fourth standalone board game in CoolMiniOrNot and Guillotine Games’ hit zombie killin’ franchise is finally here! This time, things get more than a little medieval in what may very well be the best ‘Zombicide’ adventure yet.
I’ve heard good things about ‘Zombicide’ for a few years now, but since I had already owned a couple of other zombie-themed board games, I didn’t really feel the need to add one more to my collection. But when I saw the ‘Zombicide: Black Plague’ Kickstarter campaign launch last summer, I just couldn’t stop myself from jumping in and making a pledge. I’m glad I did because this is a fun and tension filled game that really captures the essence of a zombipocalypse.

Works well for individuals or teams (1 more)
Enjoyable board and card game combo
A good family perennial game
My family really enjoy playing this game and it has become a classic we play regularly. The combination of strategy and luck works well and it's an easy game to learn. Not many games work this well for both individuals and teams. Great game with long-lasting playability.

Here's a game I wish got to the table more often. Excellent abstract way of getting familiar with how stocks work and it's a really fun game to boot. But it can be a tough sell to get new gamers on board with a game that's all about acquiring companies.

Mechanics reflect the game, such as Booker chasing Elizabeth (2 more)
The board and pieces are beautiful
Enjoyable game, if you enjoy the Bioshock world
Good for those who enjoyed Bioshock Infinite
I really wanted to love this game and looking at the board and pieces, you can see that time and attention was put into this project. The mechanics also look to replicate Bookers search for Elizabeth, whilst the two factions fight a war. However, the game takes quite a while to play and I just feel there are better games out there to satisfy what is essentially a map domination game.

Easy to learn game.
A quick paced game with a simple turn structure. The more people involved, the more challenging and critical your decisions are as slipstreaming and fatigue haves greater effect the more riders on the board.

XCOM The Board Game offers a fast paced coop experience for up to 4 players. Each of the 4 roles gives a unique play style. The accompanying app is a great addition to the game, controlling the flow of the game and adding an extra level of urgency with the sound effects.

Board Game Review: Targi – A Two Player Treat
Targi is a solid title, and one replete with real and meaningful decisions. I love that a simple ruleset, with few exceptions to be remembered, can nevertheless create challenging and relatively deep play. As a two-player only game, this is definitely worth checking out and certainly should be attractive to couples.

Lumos (380 KP) rated Roll Player in Tabletop Games
Mar 14, 2018
I love this game! It is similar to Sagrada, in that you must roll dice and place them on a board according to certain requirements. The point of the game is to roll a character. You buy cards and take actions depending on the character you are creating. It is a very well done game.

Building a better board game.
The Castles of Burgundy looks like a typical Euro- board game from the early 2000's it looks boring. It also looks more complicated than it ends up being. The amount of brain power use in this game has a good balance between cerebral and mindless. At the end of the game you have something in front of you that you have built and it feels good in that respect even if you haven't won the game. It can be played casually, and with your full attention. My wife and I enjoy playing this as two players. We have played this many times more as a two player game than any other game in our collection. This game gets top marks, and is as close to a perfect game as I have experienced.
