Way back in December 2017 I backed a Kickstarter for a very unique looking game called Mountaineers. The game was developed by Corey Wright, Oregon USA, an avid mountain climber. The game finally arrived in the UK a few weeks ago... and wow, it's a lot bigger than I expected, and looks really impressive on …
The Art of Magic The Gathering – More Books
My wife kindly bought me 2 of the Magic The Gathering art books for Christmas - Innistrad and Ixalan - see December 2018 post. As mentioned in the post for those books, the quality of the books was fantastic in terms of the artwork and the pages and bindings of the books themselves. My birthday …

Deep Space D-6 – Review
2019, and a promise to post more frequently than 2018… shouldn’t be too difficult. In early December I received a long awaited Kickstarter. A re-print of a solo game I had heard about on a Facebook group. Deep Space D-6 from Tau Leader Games, designed by Tony Go. I had also opted for the expansion …
Art Books – Magic the Gathering
New blog post, new site layout! Apologies for the delay in getting new content out there, but it's been a busy year. For 2019 I plan to post more regularly than 2018..... we'll see how that goes. Art Appreciation Although I no longer play Magic the Gathering, I've always been a huge fan of the …
Four Against Darkness – First Game Review
"A warrior, barbarian, cleric and wizard walk into a dungeon..." Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. This was actually my starting party of adventurers for my first foray into a game of Four Against Darkness by Andrea Sfiligoi. In my last post (apologies for the length of time between posts, but gaming time …
Four Against Darkness – First Quick Review
Not quite the “quick” review I had in mind.... I've always had a soft spot for Dungeon and Dragons. Back in the early 1980's I got my first taste of Dungeons and Dragons (or D&D to those in the know!) with a group of friends. I think at that time it we started on the …
A Return to WW2 Gaming
It's been a while since I've had the chance for some WW2 miniature gaming, and certainly a while since I've had the time to arrange a game with an opponent. So as part of my continued quest into solo gaming, I decided to dust off a rules set I picked up a few years ago …
15mm WW2 US Infantry for Battlegroup
It's been a while since I've done some painting, particularly at 15mm scale. So over the Easter holiday weekend I spent some time working on a platoon of WW2 US infantry I bought last year. I've got a reasonable sized collection of late German Panzer Grenadier troops and tanks from playing Flames of War and …
Friday: A Solo Adventure – Review
Continuing my foray into solo gaming, there's one game that's recently been coming up a lot in forums and Facebook Groups - Friday - and it always receives recommendations. Friday: A Solo Adventure, is the one game I own which is exclusively for solo players. There's no multiplayer option. Of course, this means there's no-one …
Eldritch Horror – Facing the unknown alone
This weekend the weather was terrible, so it provided an ideal opportunity to get one of my larger games out. I've played Eldritch Horror from Fantasy Flight Games a few times as a 2 player game. But due to the set up time and the need for a few hours play time, it's only hit …
