Dawn [Review]

I imagine some gamers might take their first step into the board game world with more accessible games. Social deduction is one of the entry points. Easy to learn and ready-to-play in just a few minutes of explanation. We are granted some big titles, one of them being The Resistance. Of course, I would not forget the more classic Werewolf, which for some of you maybe more well-known as Mafia. These are undoubtedly fun games. However, they share one particular trait that Taylor Hayward has notably refined in Dawn.

Shallow Sea [Preview]

Scary is the sea and whatever enigmatic inhabitants — yet don’t mistake the unsettling underwater wonders for monotony. There’s an entire world beneath the waves, brimming with vibrant lives. Shallow Sea takes that deep dive into the colourful spectacle of Great Barrier Reef. Its splendor breaths live on your table. It’s a labour of love from Bad Comet Games, the South Korean studio that’s no stranger to visual opulence. This one is delivered as something that looks to be their most stunning creation yet.

An interview with Michael Raftopoulos, MOB Vanguard [News]

We had the pleasure of interviewing none other than Michael Raftopoulos, the founder and co-owner of MOB Vanguard. The company is well-known for specializing in board game licensing. And they have been working tirelessly to bring games to a global audience, negotiating localization and publishing deals are their bread and butter. Making sure your favourite titles are available in your own language. I think breaking language barriers is their hobby.

Dragon vs Kingdom [Preview]

Dragon vs Kingdom is, as the title suggests, about a furious dragon facing off against a kingdom. Or a bunch of them, actually. Each player receives his/her own sheet — it represents his/her dragon’s side. Meanwhile, the rest of the player will act as the kingdoms’ rulers on that dragon’s sheet. It might sound like a complex setup at the first glance, but practically, it’s much more straightforward. And what’s important: it’s entertaining.

Old Salt [Review]

In many wargames, the designers dive into historical facts. Their aim to recreate those events is complimented with some possible what-if scenarios that alter the course of events. Yet, I long for another approach. I believe there’s value in using fiction as a background story for this kind of game.
