Wingspan Review - Board Game Quest
Jan 2, 2019 · Wingspan garnered a reaction from me that rarely occurs: I learned the game, played it, and immediately wanted to play again. And again. It was just SO fun. Each bird has a special power that can be activated in one of a few different ways. The best aspect of the game is the engine you build on your player board.
Villainous Review - Board Game Quest
Sep 25, 2018 · Enter Villainous, a game where you not only get to be the bad guy (or girl), but a memorable one from classic Disney films that you grew up with. Time to see what life is like from the other side. Villainous is an asymmetrical card game for 2-6 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. Villainous plays best with 3-4 players.
Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps! Review
Apr 23, 2021 · Final Thoughts: I’m a huge Aliens fan and I can say the same of the board game Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps!. This game has a similar look and feel of the 1986 blockbuster and places players directly into the suspense and action on LV-426. The 7 heroes and grunts are pulled straight from the main characters of the film.
Oath Review - Board Game Quest
Jul 20, 2021 · Oath is a wild experience in the best of ways and Cole Wehrle has really outdone himself with this design. Coupled with the jaw-dropping artwork from Kyle Ferrin (there are 198 unique denizen cards that feature some of the greatest card art around), the intricate components and stunning playmat make it hard to resist.
Scythe Review - Board Game Quest
Jul 1, 2021 · The Scythe game board is composed of territory hexes. Each hex has a primary terrain type that will produce specific resources. There’s also lake terrain that can only be accessed by certain factions, as well as a central factory that provides an incentive for those who can both control the hex during play, as well as at the end of the game.
Sleeping Gods Review - Board Game Quest
Apr 27, 2021 · Combined with the chance at thirteen different endings, this game’s abundant variety all but begs for replay. The storybook for Sleeping Gods is filled with tales of intrigue. While the storytelling is enhanced by an ever-developing crew of characters, each campaign has also sent us in new and unfamiliar directions.
Planet Review - Board Game Quest
Feb 27, 2020 · Game Experience: The main draw in Planet has to be the 3D model players will be building on. It is definitely fun to hold and rotate, will be sure to turn the heads of people walking by. However, in practice, it ended up being a bit of a mixed bag. First, the magnets weren’t as strong as I would have liked.
Beyond the Sun Review - Board Game Quest
Jul 27, 2021 · That was a lengthy negative section, but to be honest, it’s hardly been an issue when keeping player count low and choice in tables. Knowing that going into the game, and you’ll have a great time. Beyond the Sun does a lot of what I want in a Eurogame. There are large amounts of strategic paths to explore.
Oceans Review - Board Game Quest
May 5, 2020 · Oceans is its own game, and an excellent one at that. In the early turns of Oceans, there is a slow build up of your engine. Things lazily move along in the one card, one feeding pace as your species slowly begin to evolve. Most players are also usually content to graze from the reef for now, which is in amply supply early in the game.
