Board Games Archives

If you're a fan of Homestar Runner, then you'll be very interested to learn about Brothers Chaps and James Ernest's latest project, Trogdor!! The Board Game.

The folks over at Amazon just gave away a major crossover event for Dungeons & Dragons today after leaking their next unannounced book.

Today, Wizards of the Coast announced a new set of products coming later this year for Dungeons & Dragons just in time for the holidays.

Life, uh, finds a way... to make awesome new stuff. Mondo announced this morning they have a new board game on the way with Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene.

I got the honored privilege of being at the Dungeons & Dragons livestream on Twitch this past weekend called the Stream of Many Eyes. It was a rare chance to meet the D&D team, as well as many of the players and DMs you may see on a weekly basis on their channel playing games.

During the Dungeons & Dragons Stream of Many Eyes happening on Twitch this weekend, we got a full introduction to the game's next campaign, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. But, the minds at D&D were not finished there as they posted a surprise announcement on Twitter last night.

Wizards of the Coast have partnered with a brand new company called Beadle & Grimm’s Pandemonium Warehouse looking to supply your Dungeons & Dragons adventure with everything you need for the upcoming adventure Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

Yesterday evening, during the Stream of Many Eyes on Twitch, we finally got a proper reveal of what the next adventure module will be for Dungeons & Dragons in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

Seven months ago, after we received the new Dungeons & Dragons book Xanatha's Guide To Everything, those of us playing the game assumed we probably wouldn't see a new rulebook be added to the compendium for a while. Then, kinda out of the blue, Wizards of the Coast announced Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.

The Valiant Universe has just gotten a lot more competitive. The publisher's deckbuilding game set in the Valiant Universe, inventively titled "Valiant

Tomorrow we'll have our review of the latest Dungeons & Dragons rules book Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, but before that, we got one more villain to show off brought to you by the fine minds behind D&D Beyond.

Infinite Black, LLC has returned to Kickstarter with another Elder Dice campaign -- because nothing says tabletop gaming like Lovecraftian imagery. Their successful first Kickstarter shipped at the end of 2017.

I've enjoyed many years of tabletop RPG games where we had nothing but pencils, paper, and imagination. But at a certain point, the mind needs substance. So for those who have a budget, there are options to make your game pop, and Wizkids is pretty awesome and making some things come to life.

The Hellboy board game by Dark Horse and Mantic Games has been so successful in its Kickstarter launch, the companies have decided to add an expansion before the Kickstarter is even complete.

We're slowly approaching the general release of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, and today the crew at Dungeons & Dragons have introduced fans to a brand-new enemy that will make your skin crawl in the form of the Oblex.

The Hearts of Iron board game announced at PDXCON this weekend is the most raw of the four board game adaptations announced. Crusader Kings was the most put together, while Cities: Skylines was relatively set in terms of its rules and function. HOI though, was just a game board with some box art.

One of the four board game adaptations of Paradox Interactive's game franchises is for Europa Universalis, which some of you might recall actually started as a board game. Not many have played the original Europa Universalis board game, as it was notoriously difficult to properly play.

The Cities: Skylines board game is being designed by Rustan Håkansson, and is therefore not a whole lot like its older video game sibling. This is very much a "spirit of" translation.

Free League Publishing, best known for their pen and paper RPG Tales of the Loop and Mutant Year Zero, are lending their talents to Paradox Interactive's Crusader Kings IP to bring it to life as a board game.

One of the cool things about the current crop of Dungeons & Dragons developers and creators is that they have a love for past things that were truly awesome. Case in point, the company just reached back and pulled a race out of the past for all you Spelljammer fans with the Giff.

If you're going to make a product, make sure it's on-brand. That's the lesson we've learned from Omin Dran of the Dungeons & Dragons podcast by Penny Arcade, Acquisitions Incorporated. So when we saw they had tapped Elderwood Academy to make some amazing branded dice gear, we were sold.

The folks behind Dungeons & Dragons appear to be having fun with their audience this week as the company is playing a social media adventure on Twitter. Today, I got a fun message in the mail from the Sage of Shadowdale, Elminster Aumar, along with a very specific key.

Batman: The Animated Series is making a triumphant return this summer to the world of tabletop gaming, courtesy of IDW Games, and the game maker hopes it will be the first in a series of games based on the cartoon franchise.

If you happen to be playing in the Adventure League portion of Dungeons & Dragons, some good news is on the way as you're getting a brand new adventure called Rrakkma before the company releases Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes.

As April came to a close we got one last subscription box on our doorstep for the month, and that was the Loot Crate DX box. These are always an interesting treat to open, and aside from one teaser item they showed off, we really didn't know what to expect this month.

The cool people over at Wizkids have been producing various figures for multiple role-playing games over the years and we've really come to respect the designs they're able to crank out for games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder.

As we get closer to the release of Dungeons & Dragons' next book in the 5th Edition compendium, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, we're starting to learn more about what exactly that book will contain as far as content and it already sounds impressive.

Free League Publishing has opened pre-orders for the latest expansion to their hit tabletop RPG Mutant: Year Zero. The Mechatron expansion is as robot-filled as it sounds.

Today, White Wolf Entertainment, the creators of Vampire: The Masquerade, made the formal announcement that the company has found a new distribution deal with Modiphius Entertainment to distribute Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition.

For the longest time in my personal collection of Doctor Strange-ish items, I have had a proper gaming dice set of speckled black and red design from Chessex, which have both served me well and been the bain of my existence at critical times.
