Quilts and Cats of Calico Digital Review

Michelle Ridge — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 16:27:38 +0000

While I have not played the original Calico, I couldn’t help but try this digital version simply because the game trailer revealed actual animated cats wandering around the quilt. As an aspiring cat parent, the combination of two worlds I love lured me in, but eventually I did stay for the gameplay. Quilts and Cats […]

Dominion Digital Review

Tony Mastrangeli — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 13:06:31 +0000

I’m not sure any game in the modern era has aged as well as Dominion has. Despite coming out in 2008, Dominion is still very popular and one of the best deck building games out there. It was the one that started it all and hasn’t really been surpassed for its gameplay (in this reviewer’s […]

With all the hype, anticipation and positive reviews, Marvel Snap—the latest digital Collective Card Game (CCG) with the Marvel IP—was released on the 18th of October and almost immediately landed on a well-deserved spot in the Top 3 Free Games of the iOS App Store. With all the fanfare about this game, it will be curious […]

Wingspan: European Expansion DLC Review

Michelle Ridge — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 15:48:47 +0000

With Wingspan being out for a while now and its digital version released shortly after, it’s unsurprising that fans of the game were ready for more (myself included). According to the IOC World Bird List, there are over 10,000 extant species of birds in the world so theoretically this means a lot of gameplay for […]

Concordia Digital Review

Andrew Smith — Wed, 11 May 2022 13:29:20 +0000

Origins 2017. I’ve made quick friends with some fellow early-rising board gamers. We’ve dubbed ourselves the “8am Heavy Euro” group. During the show, we managed to play Kanban, Railroad Revolution, and Navegador in the mornings before the exhibit hall even opened. And at 8am on the final day of Origins I was introduced to Concordia. […]

The Captain is Dead Digital Review

Dylan St. Clair — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 13:44:16 +0000

2020 was the year of digital gaming. Websites, simulators, and apps were in prevalent use, not only from the greater board gaming hobby but by me as well. I can state with full confidence that I was opposed to digital gaming prior to March of last year. But once the world went into lockdown, I […]

Michelle Ridge — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 16:07:23 +0000

I’m a big fan of the world of A Game of Thrones and admittedly am captivated by anything with its IP (e.g. I’m guilty of owning Risk: Game of Thrones) so when we were offered to review the digital version of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, I jumped right on it. Something I […]

Pavlov’s House Digital Review

Tahsin Shamma — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 13:31:07 +0000

The history of World War II is filled with thousands of stories of survival, overcoming adversity, and sheer will. The Soviet Union was a major target of German aggression and an “at-all-costs” defense of the motherland was its most important goal in the conflict. The defense of Stalingrad, the namesake city of the Soviet leader, […]

Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace Review

Tony Mastrangeli — Wed, 07 Apr 2021 13:33:20 +0000

We don’t normally review video games here at BGQ (well outside of digital board games), but when Asmodee Digital and Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) decided to make an adventure game set in the Arkham Horror universe, my interest was immediately piqued. I’ve been watching the teaser videos over the past year, eagerly awaiting a chance […]
