Here he comes, here comes the Batman - he’s a demon on wings. And he’s gonna sell you a big box of plastic. Just before we rush off to UK Games Expo we want to leave a little review we have made for you of a teeny tiny game about a caped crusader and his, as it turns out by counting all the other miniatures in the box, seventeen thousand friends and enemies.
And since this is quite a long video, we’ll just let it do the talking. Hope you enjoy the review!
Behold, the wonderful world of birds - nature’s favourite flying mammal - in all its glory. Wingspan doesn’t skimp one bit at showing you just how beautiful these creatures can be and comes with an amount of eggs so large that it can only mean that those one hundred and seventy bird cards have been getting up to no good in your brand new board game box. That’s right. Birds are the new sexy and publisher Stonemaier Games is ready to sell you a board game full of them. Just as well we’ve got a review ready to help you make up your mind.
Diving into peoples dreams, miniature black holes, Winnie the pooh - those are not items from my Amazon checkout page - they’re just some of the elements that make up the whole that is Comanauts. There’s enough ideas in this board game to fill up an Olympic swimming pool and they’re so eclectic that it’ll probably make google bots think this entire page is gibberish spam. I don’t think I’m doing a very good job explaining it so here, just watch this video, it’ll make it better. Uh oh, I think I hear the google bot knocking on my door. Hurry, click play before it takes me to spam prison!
One small step for man, one giant leap for cardboard. It turns out that identical components are so yesterday and 2018 is the dawning of unique games, lovingly handcrafted by the modern dominant sentient life force - the algorithm. Here at NPI we always welcome our new overlords so we were more than excited to dissect the very first unique board game (technically first, as KeyForge is a trading card game) only partially created by humans. Make room! Make room! For it is truly a sight to behold.
It seems like only yesterday we’ve plunged ourselves into the roll and write genre and yet here we are back again with another gorgeous title that very quickly charmed us.
When it comes to deep dives we're used to submerging into strategy, untangling what a game can offer mechanically. But when Asmodee got in touch with an offer of a review copy of Star Wars: Legion, I (Efka) decided that my deep dive with this game will be of a different variety.
This game is a bit like a bad dad but that’s OK, our review will help you finish your homework.
Get ready for Jedus, Acoustic Spanners and a cranky doctor. They're all about to make some noise. Specifically, one kind of noise. It's our review of Clank! In! Space! and in space nobody can hear you make corny sci-fi references.
It's not exactly brain surgery but this light abstract tile drafting game might just spin your head into a twist.
Stacking silly meeples? Check. Loud circus music? Check. A dead elephant? Check check check.
We're not gonna mince words. There's some sexy train science in this review. That's all you need to know.
Is that Scooby Doo? No, it's Mansions of Madness Second Edition - although we can't fault you for confusing those two. Both are silly, fun and full of hijinks. Zoiks fellas, better roll those dice to not go potty.
Elaine and Efka explore all the wonders of London and ponder on the nature of Guilds. A lot of knowledge here. A lot of wisdom.
Featuring a review of shopping bags, St. Albans and lots and lots of shouting.
Efka keeps a solemn vow, one that he will definitely not break in this video.
