It’s a fun, more complex, dragon-themed game built on the foundations of Wingspan — familiar, but very different.
It’s a lot of fun seeing the victory point-generating system you’ve built kick into gear, though once you start chaining things together turns can take forever. This, unfortunately, kind of sucks for the non-active player(s), as there’s nothing to do but sit and wait between turns.
Playing this game with four players must take forever.

I've finally played all the modules in Kittens + Beasts.
Kittens - A good addition that add incentive to be first
Beasts - I found this to be kinda meh. I didn't like that you can only get beasts on the first day which makes it really easy to just skip the whole module.
Events - I really enjoyed this module. The events really add additional layers of strategy and time sensitive ways to score points.

To dream up board game Life in Reterra, Eric Lang spent four years trying to forget
(www.polygon.com)
“My personal point of view as a designer,” Lang told me in a recent interview, “is to prove that the lines between what we call ‘mass market’ and ‘hobby market’ are mostly illusion — illusion and artificial. People are people. Fun is fun. Depth is depth. Of course, everybody has different tolerances, or [wants] different amounts of depth in the game, but there’s no one, weird, single, dividing line between what is in the mass market and what’s not. That’s all been decided by buyers at retail.”

My wife and I just finished playing the last month of Pandemic Legacy Season 0. OMG, that was a great ride.
We'd played Season 1 with our son at the start of COVID, which gave us a sense of agency. This version is a prequel that takes place in 1962. You're playing doctors recruited to the CIA. Instead of disease cubes, you're trying to fight off Soviet agents. However, since an outbreak would send disease to neighboring cities, and Soviet agents don't work that way (that we know of), there's a new mechanic for bad stuff that happens instead. Each player has a passport for their character. Each passport has pages for 3 different aliases you can take (Allied, Neutral, and Soviet). You'll need to create and direct teams to complete objectives.
Highly recommended. If you're interested, here's the Shut Up & Sit Down review.

Hello boardgame community! About a year ago I briefly came across a PnP Ruleset that I found very intruiging, but I cannot find it anymore. Also not on google withaforementioned keywords, so I hope you'll be able to help me out.
Here's what I (think I) remember:
- It's set in a Victorian era-
- The players are under the command of the queen and have to fight the supernatural
- They party has a shared resource pool that the have to assemble beforehand
- If the players prepared wrong they have to abort the mission and try again in the next session
- Maybe there was something about magic corruption?
That's all I can remember, I hope you guys can help me out on this one! All hints are welcome!
P.S.: I'm quite sure it is not candela obscura, as this has not been made public at that time.

Sounds like it's going to be a legacy game:
During the co-op game for one to four players, the group can experience a narrative-driven campaign that will enable players to explore different storylines and outcomes depending on their choices. As their chosen characters, players can upgrade their unique abilities by spending the experience points they gain, as well as unlock new powers through optional loyalty missions. The group can also improve their various pieces of equipment and weapons as they advance through the campaign.
According to the game’s publisher, Modiphius, the narrative choices made by players will have consequences further down the line, with there being potential for multiple playthroughs resulting in never-before-seen experiences.

I just got the Kittens + Beasts Expansion for Isle of Cats and played the Kitten module. The small size of the kittens and being able to rescue two for one basket makes it easier to fill out those smaller spaces that used to require treasures. It definitely adds incentive to be first for the round.

Meeple Mountain has a great article on trick taking games. I want to try Sail, as my wife and I love cooperative games.

Hope you won't be put off by the fantastic french accent, this channel is a goldmine if you're into "heavy" games as Jean Michel calls them

FAQ
I live in Jamaica/Canada/Belize/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!
Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.
Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?
Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.
Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?
Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).
Can I donate all my money to you?
No
Can you help me promote my game?
Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.
Your list is full of errors and now there's cheese dust all over my cards!
Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on Reddit karma, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Hi
I'm playing with the idea of buying Red Strike by Vulca Simulations, I have friends that would be up for a few games. We all played Axis & Allies before, which is a bit easier than Red Strike as far as I see. I also plan to play it by my self (the scenarios look very interesting).
Any thoughts or experiences?

Only in March so far, but things are going well. Almost too well... It's a good twist on the classic. Anyone else played it?

Shut Up & Sit Down, Quinns Quest, and The Year Ahead - Quinn no longer reviewing board games, Tom taking over
(www.shutupandsitdown.com)
Tom, you’re an extraordinarily rare talent. You’re hilarious, insightful, and technically-minded in a way I’ve never been (don’t know if you noticed this). But more importantly, you’re hungrier and more passionate about board games than my decrepit ass. Part of knowing when to step back a little is knowing when it’s time to make room for the next generation, and it’s past time I do that.

FAQ
I live in Colombia/Canada/Costa Rica/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!
Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.
Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?
Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.
Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?
Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).
Can I donate all my money to you?
No
Can you help me promote my game?
Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.
Your list is full of errors and now my coffee is cold!
Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on the misery of others, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Just Got My Basic Board Game Table, Where and What Accessories Can I Add?
I commissioned this very basic board game/dining table so there isn't much going on right now.
I was wondering if I could add something detachable on the sides like cup holders or card holders.
I was thinking to hire a 3D print service or maybe there are ready-made stuff out there that I could buy instead.
I'm very excited to play on this table.

I found this channel when looking up how to play FlameCraft. Now I always check to see if he has a video when looking up how to play a new game. He has a great sense of humor and explains the games well!
