Ankh: Gods of Egypt Review

I guess that thumbnail is doing a lot of work for me. A big CMON Kickstarter project that I somehow ended up loving - that doesn’t happen every day.

Okay, so what is Ankh: Gods of Egypt? It’s a toys on a map game from Eric Lang, designer of Blood Rage and Rising Sun amongst others where 2-5 players have big minis, big fights and generally a big time. Why is it good? Well, that’s what this video is about. Bonus: tune in for some cultural commentary from someone who was very curious to find out how CMON’s treatment of Ancient Egypt stacks up. Spoilers: It’s complicated.

Pax Pamir Review

Frequently, before the publishing of this review, we got messages from our viewers expressing hope. As in, they hoped we would like this game. Let us say right now, Pax Pamir is a game like no other. Job done. Why even watch the video?

What we mean by “like no other” is that it’ll astound like no other, envelop like no other and confound like no other. It’s not uncommon to expect reviewers to dish out verdicts, but we see our job less as judges and more as guides. So if you’d like to know whether Pax Pamir is for you, then go on.

Root and The Riverfolk Expansion Review

If I had 172 fingers, I could count the number of times our audience asked us to review Root on all my fingers. I have only ten fingers, unless you count toes as fingers, in which case I have twenty! (fun fact: in Lithuania toes are called feet fingers). But enough about Lithuania, let’s review Root, one of the most exciting games of 2018! In this dazzlingly beautiful and artistically unprecedented game of war you’ll take on the role of a cutesy woodland faction, and it won’t take long until things go very very wrong. How wrong? Only one way to find out.
