I love introducing new card games to my family and friends. The problem is that there are usually two hurdles to overcome: cost and complexity. Most games are expensive, and learning a new game can sometimes feel like a chore. I can't tell you how many times I've started explaining the rules to a table full of family and friends, only to watch them slowly stop listening before we've even started playing. That's one of the reasons I enjoy GameHead Games so much. Their games ar

I set out to sprout as many houseplants as possible over Roger and Zeb. Sprout, a very vibrant colorful game about keeping houseplants alive, has an element of high risk. I very quickly learned that each round presented different challenges and even a rouge-like variation depending on what plants I sprouted or if I gained a roommate card. What made it even more challenging was that each round started with a pot of nutrients that I could lose with each number card that was dra

People who enjoy games that are a mix of strategy and luck would enjoy Corgi Pileup. It can be played with kids seven and up and is enjoyed by all ages. The game is relatively small and would be easy to take along, making it a great selection for your next game night.

Starting as a company focused on game mats, GameHead has expanded into board games, creating some of the most interesting concepts I’ve seen in a while.

We had the opportunity to interview Mark Diaz Truman, the co-founder, CEO, and Senior Designer at Magpie Games, to talk about their upcoming TTRPG Temeraire: The Roleplaying Game, based on the novels by the same name. If you are a fan of TTRPGs or the novels (or both!) this is an interview you won't want to miss!

Introduction: What is Down Among the Dead? For those who have been playing Pirate Borg for a while, you’ve probably either been creating your own content, something the core book does a great job helping inspire, or you’ve been looking for new material to bring to the table. I’m happy to say that Limithron has created a new expansion, Down Among the Dead. Just like the core book , it’s packed with tables, ideas, tools, adventures, and fantastic art. While there is plenty here

The core book is ideal for those who started with the starter set and are ready to take a deeper dive into the world of Pirate Borg. If you’re a seasoned GM, you could probably skip the starter set and jump straight into the core book. That said, I still love the maps, tokens, and dice included in the starter set, and they work well alongside the core book.

We review the Pirate Borg Starter Set and explore what makes this chaotic pirate RPG one of the easiest tabletop games to jump into.
