Black Rose Wars published by Ludus Magnus Studios in 2019, takes the magic theme and dials it up to 11 with unique ideas, deep game play and stunning components. It’s a really great, really fun game, and has quickly become the 1670 group’s go-to game for in person game sessions. We played it the last …

Raiders of the Lost Dig Sites: Lost Ruins of Arnak Review
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 …
New Unmatched and Epic Duels content from Achilles to Fennec Shand
First off, if you haven’t picked up Fearsome Wilderness yet, it’s getting excellent reviews and is still available at Amazon or perhaps your local FLGS.

Session Report: Ackbar and Mando knock off Snoke with San & Wat
Admiral Ackbar & Wedge Antilles were still standing in the Geonosis Arena after killing San Hill, the last of the 3 major character they dispensed with, and Roman conceded instead of fighting it out with the 2 Super Battle Droids.

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, …
