Cthulhu: Dark Providence, designed by Travis Chance and Martin Wallace and published by CMON, is a fascinating hybrid: part deck‑builder, part hidden‑role game, part area‑influence struggle set against the backdrop of the Great Depression. It reimplements Wallace’s A Study in Emerald, but rather than simply reskinning that design with tentacles and art deco horror, it […]
If you’ve read my previous guide to Cthulhu: Death May Die and all its expansions, then you’ll already be aware of what a big fan I am of the series. It should be no surprise then to hear that I’ve already jumped at the chance to review the retail version of Cthulhu: Fear of the […]
CMON have a funny habit of releasing games we weren’t expecting with little or no warning – often at inexplicable moments in time. Designed by the master of remasters and campaign games himself (Rob Daviau), Stranger Things: Upside Down breaks the mould slightly by being neither a remake nor a campaign game – but nonetheless […]
When I first saw Army of the Dead: A Zombicide Game, I was a bit shocked. Not only is this a Zombicide game that took me completely by surprise, but I also noticed Netflix branding on the box, and the obvious likeness of Dave Bautista as a leading character. Not only did I not know […]
In Dune: War for Arrakis two to four players will control the opposing forces of House Atreides and House Harkonnen as they do battle to control the desert planet. Played over a series of rounds and lasting about 3 or 4 hours, Dune: War for Arrakis is actually best played by just two people. This […]
I am a huge fan of Cyberpunk 2077 (the video game) having come to it on console long after any of the controversy around its release had died down. Thanks to my love of the IP, I have been looking forward to getting a copy of Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City, even though the […]
The end result of yet another gigantic CMON Kickstarter, Zombicide: Undead or Alive represents something like the tenth variant/setting that the game has taken place in, and critically, this is the first spin-off to be based on the updated Zombicide: Second Edition ruleset. Many people are now familiar with the Zombicide formula, and for them […]
Well, I am sure you all know that here at Nerdly we love a good zombie movie, and at the same time we’re also fans of CMON’s Zombicide game series. Having already covered both Zombicide: Green Horde and Zombicide: Invader, I often wonder what new ideas CMON will come up with next, besides a simple […]
History has proven that CMON is onto a winning formula when it comes to the Zombicide series. What began as an ambitious project to reinvent miniatures gaming has since evolved into a hugely popular and long running series that has spawned (excuse the pun) multiple expansions and spin offs. Around this time last year, we […]
