MARVEL Splendor and Love Letter | How Do They Compare to the Originals?!

8/30/2022

Splendor and Love Letter are simply perfect, but how do they stack up to their newer, slightly altered versions of Marvel?! 

Both Splendor and Love Letter are perfect entry-level games for 2-4 players (2-6 for Marvel Love Letter). But there are some differences and those differences might make all the difference in my selection. Did that make any sense?!

Check out my take here where I give an overview of both Splendor and Love Letter and compare each to their Marvel counterpart, clearly selecting one version over the other.

The Little Flower Shop DUEL | A New BYOP Game from Dr. Steve Finn on Kickstarter in August

8/16/2022

0 Comments

 
​Dr. Steve Finn did it again! He made a print and play version of a very cool game: The Little Flower Shop Duel, made just for two players. And I've made a run through video teaching you how to play and what it looks like to score a game of The Little Flower Shop Duel. 

This game encourages players to collect flowers, complete vases, and nab the neatest knickknacks on the shelves of the little flower shop before their opponent gets them first. 

Players alternate turns, selecting an item from one shelf until all the items are gone. After 8 rounds, the game is over and players tally their score. 

It's a fast, fun and replayable print and play game that will have you hemming and hawing over what decision to make. 

This game will be Kickstarter funded in August 2022! Watch it here: youtu.be/f1UNhh2-Xqc

Dice Theme Park is a heavier dice worker placement game for those ready to puzzle out their best attractions in their very own designed theme park. 

There's also scads of other cool mechanisms with action selection, open drafting, and hand management in this game. 

I'll walk through each phase of the game to showcase the unique and fun elements that caught my eye in this really colorful and engaging strategy game for 1-4 players.

8/2/2022

Eternal Palace is a new, Kickstarter-backed dice worker placement and painting game with beautiful components and cool mechanics. 

Players group their rolled dice and then openly place them on the main board to gather resources, monuments, painting swatches, and advisors that help them in their quest for glory. 

With a player count ranging from 1-5 and all the expansions I got in the Kickstarter Deluxe Edition, I think I'll be playing this game for a while to come:)
