A to Z 2015 : PIGPEN

A to Z 2015 : PIGPEN

From one Filler to the next! Although, despite this next entry being claimed as a Filler game, the one experience I had of it took much longer than what was listed on the box. This may have been because almost everyone in the playgroup was learning the game, but I suspect not. The rules are nowhere near complicated, but I think the way the game plays can cause for lengthy sessions.

Grab your saws and hammers and let's take a look at the Kickstarter game that focuses on building yourself a handy dandy...

A to Z 2015 : ONE NIGHT ULTIMATE WEREWOLF

A to Z 2015 : ONE NIGHT ULTIMATE WEREWOLF

Tonight I'm going to highlight a game that I just recently played and is a bit different than the rest I've featured thus far. It has elements such as hidden roles, bluffing, and deduction, much like Avalon, Resistance, Spyfall, and others of similar design. In fact, the original version of this game may be what inspired those I listed. This version, however, has been condensed and runs roughly 10-15 min.

It's a great Filler/Gateway/Party game, though maybe best for players who can handle the bluffing pressures involved. Either way, it's time to see if we can survive...

A to Z 2015 : NO THANKS!

A to Z 2015 : NO THANKS!

This next entry is a card game that I played for the first time this Winter. It is both a Gateway and Filler game. I think it's listed play time is 20 min, and that is pretty accurate even with first-timers. It's really simple to teach and to learn.

Let's take a quick look at a game where you collect cards or pass on them declaring...

A to Z 2015 : MYSTERIUM

A to Z 2015 : MYSTERIUM

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to borrow this next game from a friend so that I could get some pictures taken. I'm going to use some I found on Boardgamegeek, until I can get my own.

It's yet to be released in the US, but I've played the Polish version, and thought it was really fun. And surprisingly challenging. It's heralded as being a cross between Dixit and Clue, and I suppose the comparisons fit. Let's take a quick look into the world of...

A to Z 2015 : LEGENDARY

A to Z 2015 : LEGENDARY

The next entry into my A to Z gaming theme features one of my favorite Deck-Builders to date. I'm now three expansions short of having a complete collection, and that fact kind of drives me mad. I want any and all cards I can get for this game, but unfortunately promos are limited to events like Gen Con, which I rarely can afford to attend.

If you are a fan of Marvel comics, movies, and/or love thematic superhero games and you haven't checked out this selection, you are missing out, because it's...
