Memoir ’44 Refresh, designed by Richard Borg and published by Days of Wonder, is a modernised reprint of the original 2004 tactical wargame that brought the “Commands and Colours” system into the mainstream. It retains its core gameplay while introducing upgraded components, a huge number of variable scenarios, and a clearer rulebook. It is fully […]
There’s something about the Battle of Hoth that will stick in my memory forever. Maybe it’s the visual contrast – white snow, those giant dark AT-AT’s and the orange flight suits of Luke and his wing. Maybe it’s the desperation of it all: the Rebels scrambling to evacuate, the Empire marching forward with cold precision, […]
Days of Wonder is a board game publisher that has built a reputation based on releasing very nicely produced, extremely well-designed and generally quite accessible games on an almost annualised based. Back in 2022, they released Heat: Pedal to the Metal. A racing game from Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen that slightly, sort […]
I don’t think anyone would deny that Ticket to Ride sits easily among the top three of what the board game world calls “Gateway Games” – meaning any game which allows players to make the step from classic games like Chess, Scrabble or even Monopoly to the more innovative world of modern games.

If you’ve seen a hobbyist board game collection in the last four or five years, chance’s are that you’ll have seen at least one copy of Memoir ’44. This Days of Wonder game is a beautifully produced collection of plastic and cardboard that uses the well-trodden Command & Colours system created by the late Richard […]
Days of Wonder is a well known brand when it comes to creating extremely attractive and highly accessible board games that offer a gateway level experience whilst still introducing players to some of the more complex mechanics that appear in other games. Memoir ’44, Small World and Quadropolis are just a few games released by […]
