This review has been a long time coming, but the good news is, I’ve played Lost Ruins of Arnak a lot at this point — dozens of times on boardgame arena as well as several times in person — and so I’m giving you a pretty full perspective on this game. In short, even after …

10 Deadliest Characters in The Expanse
If you’re about to be in a fight in the universe of The Expanse, who would you most want on your side? Who would you least want to see on the other side? This is just one fan’s opinion obviously, but I have a high regard for experience and training. To me, characters who are …
The Forces of Nature: Spirit Island Review
If you follow board games even a little bit, you’ve heard of Spirit Island. If you haven’t, then at least stick with this blog and we’ll take care of you. It’s my unscientific opinion that this is one of the most popular games out there. It seems like I hear about it from all corners, …
Converting LOTRED decks to SWED
I’ve done this twice recently with the Freedon Nadd and Ahsoka, Defender of Corvus decks, so I thought I’d explain briefly. I make a lot of SWED decks. I get ideas and sometimes they come together really well and really elegantly. Sometimes they don’t. In making decks for LOTRED, it has been no different. Some …

Making new decks in Unmatched vs. Epic Duels
If you haven’t seen, I’ve got a draft up of a Paul Bunyan deck for Unmatched that I think came together really well. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t, but this one did in a tree-planting-and-chopping-to-power-up deck that is unique and hopefully interesting and fun. I haven’t tested it yet and am still taking …
The Endless Quest for Epic Duels Figures: The New Era
Where we left off, I needed new figures for characters from the new films and TV series such as The Mandalorian, Tobias Beckett and Enfys Nest. As covered 2 posts ago, I took a shot with Skullforge and Shapeways, and got these figures in the mail, here next to Obi-Wan for scale. These are great …
The endless search for perfect Epic Duels figures
I’ve always considered having quality figures to be a huge part of the appeal of Epic Duels. I’ve told bits and pieces of this story before but back in 2003 or so, I was buying extra sets of Epic Duels and modding figures, sometimes even using clay to mold capes and that sort of thing. …
