I gotta admit, when it comes to boardgames, I tend to veer towards the unabstract and more graphic type of titles. This easily explains my fascination with titles from Fantasy Flight Games: rulebooks are not the best-written, but the artwork and aesthetics usually freaking gorgeous!

I’m a big Lord of the Rings (LOTR) fan, and being a card game and boardgame nutter, have played several games based on the awesome franchise. My first ever Cards & Boards print column story was on the LOTR RISK boardgame. The LOTR TCG (Trading Card Game) by Decipher was one of my most […]

I’ve a confession to make: I’m a bit of a Blood Bowl Team Manager Card Game nutter since the game made its debut back in late 2011. Heck, I managed to persuade the local gaming group to do a “league” throughout much of 2012, culminating in a number of “dream teams” and custom/homebrew Star Player […]
Awhile back I wrote about a standalone Fantasy Flight Games’ A Game of Thrones card game. Guess what, it’s finally here in Malaysia! We’ve just received word from Imagine Games that the game is now in stock in selected local game stores, game cafes, and hobby stores, as well as Times Bookstores, Borders, and […]
Fantasy Flight Games’ awesome X-Wing Miniatures game may have had delayed shipment dates for its next expansion, but fret not! Here’s how you can score a brand-new Wave 2 Millennium Falcon, Slave 1, A-Wing or TIE Interceptor: Bangsar-based Boardgame Depot will be holding the Kessel Run tournament, on Saturday, Dec 8, 2012 in its premises.
