Sometimes, reviewing board games begins with a preconceived notion of how a game is going to be. Well, that’s most of the time, just to be transparent. Reading descriptions and seeing the pieces and parts develops this assumption about whether a game is going to be good or bad. It’s a common habit with reviewers. The trick is to be open-minded, while starting positive and thinking it’s the best b...[Read More]
Well, that’s a good way to get a new audience, especially this time of year (such a good time to watch those films). Anyway, enjoy the announcement below. December 2, 2025 – Scopely, one of the leading video game companies in the world, today unveiled a new collaboration between the chart-topping mobile game MONOPOLY GO! and Harry Potter. Players (aka “Tycoons”) are invited to roll the dice...[Read More]
I’m a huge CATAN fan. I have the board game, expansions, the new early human-based board game that is slightly confusing, and the two-player card game that can end relationships. My experience with the video game version of the board game can go all the way back to the Xbox 360 days and the N-Gage days (never thought I would type that name again, but here we are). The Xbox 360 version was probably...[Read More]
Catan is one of the greatest tabletop games of all time. I’m not going to beat around the bush on that statement, as it is true as climate change (don’t argue – we don’t have a comment section – lol). Anyway, the original game has gone through various iterations. There have been sea expansions, two-player versions, and gigantic-expensive-still-cool editions. It has grown and survived the test of t...[Read More]
New and flashy board games these days typically come with a level of complication to them. When we reviewed The Lord of the Rings board game a few months back, it was complicated to learn, tough to master, but one helluva ride as good board games go. That is still the peak of complicated board games for me. This week, Asmodee and Unexpected Games are set to release a complicated masterpiece called...[Read More]
We are back with another board game review here at Digitalchumps, as our board game gaming keeps on rolling. This time around, we’re fighting zombies in a complicated, yet charming go-around with Zombicide 2nd Edition. While it’s a game that can be played by two players, the best way to truly play it is with up to six friends. There’s chaos, zombie extermination, looting, and making some hard deci...[Read More]
For the last year, I have had the absolute pleasure of reviewing board and card games, a new-fangled part of Digitalchumps. On the Star Wars side of the new board/card game tracks, the last SW game we reviewed was Jabba’s Palace, a simple card game from Asmodee that brought a maximum amount of fun for a short amount of training. It certainly was a highlight of last year’s first kickoff of this new...[Read More]
Back on the attack with another whack board game. Yeah, I rhymed and went with it. Anyway, this is our second go-around with board game reviewing and I must admit, I was skeptical that this game wouldn’t hold up in a family environment. While the game is straightforward with how to play, you have to guess numbers/percentages to questions proposed and get the closest range possible than everyone el...[Read More]
