‘Utawarerumono: Zan’ Review (PS4)

by Phil Wheat

The Utawarerumono franchise is something of an oddity. The original Utawarerumono was first released in 2004, but only came out in Japan. THe first game to make it to the West was Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception, which was swiftly followed by Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth in the latter half of 2017. Skip forward to 2019 […]

‘Foothills’ Board Game Review

by Matthew Smail

For those who’ve never heard of it, Snowdonia is a large and popular euro game set in the Welsh hills (unsurprisingly) that features trains, resource trading and victory point collection. What proves to be an expansive and highly strategic experience at four players is a little bit less exciting at two, however, and designers Tony […]

‘X-Wing 2.0: Wave 4 – Resistance Transport Expansion Pack’ Review

by Matthew Smail

For me, at least, the presence of the Resistance Transport in a miniatures game about squadron level combat is a bit of an enigma. Sure, the Transport may be based on the B-Wing platform and it can be used as something of a gunship, but such a ship would feel more at home in games […]
