Fantasy Flight Games just announced the long-anticipated (well, I did anticipate it for a long time, so there) expansion to Blood Bowl: Team Manager – The Card Game. Sudden Death will introduce the Undead, the Vampires and the Dark Elves as three new races, plus a slew of new stuff for them, and the original […]
Star Wars has a special place in my heart, and is a helluva monster franchise. Eons ago (in the mid-1990s to be precise), when trading card games (TCGs) were starting to be all the rage, Decipher Inc. launched the Star Wars Customizable Card Game (SWCCG), right after making a Star Trek TCG. The game […]
Magic: the Gathering fans must be lapping up all the Return to Ravnica spoilers that’s pretty much being revealed one by one, by the official game producer, Wizards of the Coast, as well as numerous fan sites. Plenty of interesting stuff has been revealed already: from awesome-looking and very powerful planeswalkers, to the tons […]

It’s halfway through August, and what do you know, Wizards of the Coast has just announced a new Duel Decks set, as a nice lead-up to the Return to Ravnica block that’s incoming, in around a month. Duel Decks: Izzet vs Golgari gives us a glimpse on what the “new” Ravnica block is all about […]
The age-old debate on whether which is better, boardgames-and-other-pen-and-paper-games or video and online games is a pretty longstanding one, and doesn’t look like it’ll “settle” any time soon. I’m partial towards the more traditional games, but certainly can’t say that living card games and boardgames are superior to the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing […]
I have to say that it’s not very often that a science-fiction-themed boardgame gets unveiled. Fantasy Flight Games’ Relic looks like it’s coming at the right time, as it’s a Warhammer 40K boardgame using the Talisman Game System. Similar to that classic fantasy boardgame, but in a futuristic setting, two to four Warhammer 40K heroes […]
