Every thousand years, a musician of incredible talent will fight to gather the 15 sheets that form the Harmony of Cosmos and find the Organ of Destiny to play the melody that will vanish Fenrir for another millennium. And they have only 11 hours to do all that.
One of the games I was most looking forward to picking up at Essen was Bruno Faidutti’s Lost Temple from the awesome guys at White Goblin Games. Having done a preview earlier, it just sounded like a simple and fun, family or gateway game and great to use with non-gamers.
Adventure games. Love’em. Being a fanboy of strong theme as a key criteria in my board games, adventure games are generally a sweet spot for me. They come in all shapes and sizes, many of which are in fantasy worlds a la Tolkien’s Middle Earth, etc. To be honest, I can’t think of any off the top of my head that are set in the world of Ancient Greek mythos, so Venture Forth seems at first pass, to be a refreshing departure from the fantasy stuff that keeps getting processed through our gaming tables.

Let me say this loud and clear. I like Elder Sign. I have played that game a lot of times, both alone and with friends and I like the simple mechanics, the chance of dice, the artwork, the limited cooperation between players… I like the game a lot. Thus when I heard the app was out, I took my shiny iPad and bought it right away.

Twilight Creations has been bringing games to the fray for a very long time. And they like zombies. And they like zombies with good reason and they make great games with zombies. Like the game Zombies!
I was sent this game by University Games and I must say I wasn’t all the keen to have it, but after unboxing it, I kind of changed my mind and now I am looking forward to playing it!
