Oh boy, if it isn’t that time of year again! Tom’s gone and gotten himself addicted to a giant, knotty board game again. Please wish him a speedy recovery.

We're trundling towards the end of Board Games Direct, but we've STILL got a bunch of exciting new games to show you. A brand new version of Cascadia?

In today’s Board Games Direct, we’re taking it down to just TWO players!

This crop of games thrive on getting into your opponents’ head, and poking away at all that gray matter. Ooh! Ughh! Oww! My strategies!!! My tactics!!!! This isn’t fair!!!

After a gentle detour in the world of the humble card game, we’re back with a full-force VENTURE into the chunkiest genre of all. This third installment in our Board Games Direct preview series is peeking into the murky world of CHUNKY EUROGAMES.

We’re back with the CARD GAMES installment of our Board Games Direct Series! All these games, big and small, have you clasping a cadre of cards in your clammy claws - and they’re all a bit QUIRKY.

Podcast! This week, we’re covering our favourite games from PAX East - a convention that happened just last week! You might think it was in May, but you are actually wrong. It’s because of timezones.

It’s Brewster’s Board Game Buffet!

Pull up a chair and FEAST on this selection of tasty treats - everything from the brain-burning economics of Galactic Cruise to the sharp, slick, head-to-head battles of Iliad and Ichor. There’s some turtles hanging around in the middle, too!

Yeah! Tuesday! It’s the day that the podcast has always come out, right? Naysayers will have their board game privileges revoked.

New Video!

This week, Tom and Matt are tackling a recent favourite eurogame - Shackleton Base! It’s got workers, it’s got placement, it’s got various forms of currency! But it’s also got tourism, terrible greed, and a complete disrespect for our favourite big ball of cheese

Sometimes we have to review a game because it’s great. Sometimes we have to review a game because it means Matt can pretend to be Dracula for an afternoon. You simply cannot guess the category this one falls into.
