Epic duels guy turned blogger and reviewer turned designer and publisher of original games
Unmatched: Cobble & Fog is the latest to come from Restoration Games Unmatched series and if you are interested in this game, it’s a very exciting expansion. This is probably their best overall set so far, in my opinion, though I’ll have to play through a bunch of matches to solidify that opinion. We get …
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 …
One of the best things about Epic Duels the game was the figures that came with it. It’s a marvel that for just $20, you got 31 figures, let alone game boards and cards and a dice and a game. Only 17 of the 31 figs are painted but the other 14 are nameless minors …

It’s a strange time to be posting much of anything, but it’s been a while and I’ve played some great games in 2020, even if they were from years past. Sign up for updates! I’ve been meaning to write a review ever since playing the highly esteemed Galaxy Trucker a little while ago. I instantly …
I started up an Unmatched Deck for The Mandalorian a little bit ago, and posted it at Board Game Geek. Longtime blog follower Matt W got involved, gave it a theme, tested it and finished it out. Adam W pulled together some great art for the cards, and used the Unmatched Maker website to lay …
(Cover art by Jovan Delic) LOTRED is nearly finished! I love this set of 6 new LOTR decks featuring some of the most powerful entities in Middle Earth. Lots of fun stuff going on with each deck and frankly, it’s fun to design powerful decks as opposed to more balanced ones. When I say “nearly …
18-card games are all the rage these days, and I personally marvel at the way game designers are able to create layered strategy games within that construct, but the designers of these games have done exactly that. Capital Vices by Corey Andalora and Donnie Coleman, published by Concept Medley LLC For fans of Epic Duels, …
The Rise of Skywalker wasn’t my favorite Star Wars movie but, well, I pretty much abandoned high expectations for these movies long ago. What I’m actually struggling with is that this is the first Star Wars movie I’ve seen — perhaps the first Star Wars content I’ve seen — where I’m not really inspired to …
Cage Match! is the newest MMA Board Game on Board Game Geek, and is so far the only one that checks all the boxes of authentic MMA feel, player agency and availability for purchase. However, it is not the first or only MMA board game. There have been several MMA or at least MMA-related board …
