Review: LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring & The Two Towers Trick-Taking Games

That’s SOoooo LOTR, Some Kind of Wetsuit Joke, Denethor Fancam

One Ring to give to Thomas, One Ring to give to The Lord of The Rings: The Tricktaking Game(s). Why? ‘Cos they’re about to get married at a big cardboard altar, and enjoy many years of love and companionship together.

We initially covered these games on a podcast way back in February of 2025; and we even got the rules a bit wrong just for fun! Since then, Tom’s been playing Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers nonstop with basically anybody who doesn’t run away immediately – and has now  made this here video commemorating a newfound love of all things Orcs.

Review: Magical Athlete & Hot Streak

Hot Streak came out a little while ago, offering all the thrills of gambling on hot dogs and fish without any risk of gastroenterological problems. More recently from the same publisher, ANOTHER racing game appeared: the long-awaited Magical Athlete – a roll & move so unashamedly silly that it wraps all the way around again into being something that’s genuinely GREAT. We hope you enjoy!

Review: Take Time

Killing Time, Big Bongers, Bomb Busters Literally Arrived As I Hit Render

Take Time is a fantastic little puzzle game that has you playing cards in numerical order around a clock face. No, please, don’t leave!

The core of this one is a fascinating little ‘rules outside of the rules’ gimmick that stays fresh throughout all forty of the missions this dinky box has to offer! But is it better than The Crew? The Mind? Find out here…
