Judge a book by (more than) its cover!
Let me make this clear. I am sick and fed up of big companies selling us badly designed books. I am sick and fed up of companies selling us very expensive books we don’t need. I am sick and fed up of companies selling us fluff material that doesn’t enhance the gaming experience enough to justify the expense.
A Game of Thrones LCG exhaustive review
I have played A Game of Thrones about a dozen times now. Most of the matches have been in the 2 player format, only 1 so far has been in the 4 player format. This is important to note as the perspective of my review will mostly be from a 2 player format. However save for multiplayer titles, all the game mechanics and such work the same
Achievement Feats by Tricky Owlbear Publishing

Heroscape, Saving The Best For Last
Wizards of the Coast was nice enough to send me a complimentary set of Heroscape Wave 13, or D&DScape Wave 3, called Moltenclaw’s Invasion. Now, I am not a huge fan of D&DScape because I think much of the draw of Heroscape is the interesting backstory and wide cast of compelling characters from different genres, so I was more than a bit sceptical about how Wizards would decide to end the seven year run of Heroscape’s existence. I was pleasantly surprised.
