Meet the big boys! A UK Games Expo seminar
Organising seminars at conventions is hard work, though they’re also tremendous fun and, when one has the privilege of sharing the space with personalities like the ones in this seminar, it becomes a joy.
This seminar takes four influential names in the board and role playing games industry and puts them in touch with the public, answer questions and and challenge views you didn’t know were there.
Salute 2013 Episode 1
The first episode of the interviews we recorded at Salute 2013. Bit later than we would have wanted, but here they are.
Northwest Adventure Passage
Another Spanish game that caught my eye and did it with good reasons. It has exploration, lovely artwork, it’s very thematic and it comes from GenX in Spain, a company that has delivered some truly impressive titles in the past.
The Northwest Passage is a sea route that lies between northern Canada and the North Pole, joining the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The first expeditions took place after the discovery of America due to the need of the English to connect both coasts of the Americas to avoid edging the whole continent. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century when the adventurous spirit of sailors led them to discover this passage.
Unboxing: La Marca del Este Caja Verde
I haven’t really done any videos in my native language before. I realise most of you reading my website are of English-speaking countries and thus not every one will be able to understand me in Spanish.
Unboxing: Snowdonia
If you had the privilege of living near Snowdonia, you’d know it is a place that’s beautiful, beguiling, and deeply inspiring. You’d also know it’s a tough environment with mist, cold winters, rain more often than not and its own train line. All the way to the top.
Unboxing Petropolis the Dr Reddy way!
I must admit I have no idea what Petropolis is all about, but when I saw its components and how
Unboxing Level 99 Games Minigame Library
Level 99 is one of those companies we don’t hear enough about. They consistently produce both boardgames, card games and role playing games with a truly excellent level of quality and originality.
BattleCon is one of the best fighting cards games out there, and Mystic Empyrean is a truly fantastic and gorgeous looking role playing game.
This new selection of games is not just one game, but a collection of mini-games. All easy to play and teach, which sounds very good.
But it’s the money you have to pay worth for what you get? Let’s take a look!
Unboxing Sentinels of the Multiverse 2nd Edition, Rook City and Infernal Relics. And more!
Catching by surprise even the designers and publishers of this game, its success has been pretty amazing and the reception from the fandom pretty unanimous. The only thing everyone complained about in the first edition was the box. Barely big enough to hold the cards and indeed not big enough to hold them if you sleeved them.
After the first edition came Rook City. Better box and better packaging. Then Richard Launius joined the Greater than Games team and helped with Infernal Relics. Things got better and better.
Unboxing Phantom League and expansions
Without a doubt, passion is something most game designers have buckets loads of and Timo Multamäki is no exception.
The creator of Phantom League was only so quick and eager to show me his game and it was very impressive indeed!
