Epic duels guy turned blogger and reviewer turned designer and publisher of original games
Gotta tell you, I’ve been excited to write this one for a while now, because of all the dozens of titles we’ve played recently, this one is the best. Terraforming Mars has a strong theme, sound mechanics, great components and it just pulls off what it’s trying to do as well as any game I’ve …
In designing some of these recent decks, I’ve noticed something about card combinations: A deck can’t rely upon them. It’s nice to have them, and having them should have big effects, nearly game-winning effects. However, you can’t design a deck where that’s their only real path to victory, unless it’s going to include 6 or …
Along with the 8 decks from the Disney movies, I updated 9 other decks with nice new card back art, which include the minor as well as the major character. The only exception is Jyn Erso, for whom I tried to merge some Commando minors into the art I’m using for the back, but the …
This is a post about Pathfinder the Card Game by Paizo for those who are familiar with the game. While it may seem that the party possibilities are endless, there are obvious ways to optimize your party and avoid duplication that are worth a look.

Four in-person 2v2 duels preceded by a rousing match of Slapshot. All four duels featured lightsaber wielders as major characters and in most cases, minor characters as well.

So we broke out the game Arcadia Quest the other day, put together trio squads of cartoonish eleves and bashed Orcs and Trolls by throwing dice. So yeah, it was loads of fun. Here’s a review: Overall Feeling Arcadia Quest completes its own quest of putting you in the middle of an action sequence, with …
Seriously, they’re fun. Try them out. Everyone has at least one trick he can play, and just the card names alone give them all a Rogue One feel to them with some fun quotes in there. Jyn has her commando deck that always has a chance, Cassian and K-2 are a stealthy, sneaky team, Chirrut …
Krennic and Chirrut & Baze defeated Jyn and Cassian & K-2SO, twice Neither Jyn nor K-2 could get much going either game, while Chirrut & Baze are actually a pretty tough duo, at least in this matchup. What’s also true is that of the 4, Krennic probably has the most staying power, followed by Chirrut …
