After playing shedloads of Anachrony on Board Game Arena, severely under-rating Septima, and having a wobbly old time with Cerebria: The Inside World… Shut Up & Sit Down is having a MIND CLASH once again! With Mindclash games. They published. This. Ok. Glad we understand.
Ironwood is a sharp and tense head-to-head battler set in a lovingly illustrated woodland – but does it hold up to scrutiny? Find out more in this video review…

Tapping into our deeply and unashamedly adolescent image of what we think is aesthetically COOL, COMPILE is black and purple box of cyberpunk wonders took us by surprise and heck, we LIKED it. With one mini expansion already available and room for more, we think this is absolutely worth grabbing.

Long-time followers will know we’ve got a soft spot for Undaunted games – and that’s why we couldn’t be more excited to explore this venture into new thematic territory. Swapping World War 2 for a capitalistic conflict in space (that as far as we’re aware hasn’t happened yet and therefore isn’t historically accurate) – we had a ton of fun really getting out teeth into Undaunted 2200: Callisto. We hope you enjoy the video!

Weird video this week! Defenders of the Wild is a really solid co-operative game, but its compelling narrative implications are what makes it a cut above the rest. It’s time for a quick critical detour in this first foray into ‘reviews-that-aren’t’!

We’re joined once again by the inimitable Philippa Warr for an extra large edition of The Top 100, and this time we’ve got two different board games being potentially added onto the list: Race for the Galaxy AND Roll for the Galaxy. Cups VS Cards? It’s a tale as old as time!

Ahhh! Nothing beats the simple delights of a nippy card game that features DRAGONS and GOBLINS. The Vale of Eternity isn’t an all-timer, and it might not even sit in your collection forever – but it’s one of the most solidly entertaining games we’ve played in ages, a real crowd-pleaser; a fast and fun delight. Smart design and constant fun choices elevate this box in ways we weren’t expecting – check it out.

I’ve been on a bit of a co-operative kick recently, and Leviathan Wilds stood head-and-shoulders above the competition by virtue of its unending charm and bounty of ideas. It’s a really simple, slick little design that gets people into the fray immediately, but messes around with its own systems with the glee of a child cramming their mouth with pick-n-mix.
To put it simply… it slaps.

In Wilmot’s Warehouse, your team will work cooperatively to organize the warehouse, using memory, imagination, and silly stories you make up.
DRAW product tiles off the stack, DISCUSS what they look like, and PLACE them somewhere youʼll remember!
After you place each tile, you flip it over and canʼt look at it again until the end of the game.
So your team has to remember where youʼve placed previous tiles as you decide where to place new ones.
At the end of the game, in a 5-minute rush, your team will have to match all 35 face down tiles with customer cards. Consult your performance review to see how well you did!

Sometimes a great game knocks us off our feet and has us scrambling to immediately script & film a video – other times it’s a slow burn, with our love for a box growing a little more slowly! Forest Shuffle is a game that we just kept coming back to, and it’s about time we gave it the time – and the spotlight – it deserves!
