    Raf Reviews - Arcane Academy

    Wizard School! Finally. I don’t know many people who wouldn’t want to go to wizard school, especially one as bright and colorful as the Academy of Magic and Sciences.  Arcane Academy is an almost gateway weight game but it’s one I can’t stop playing. Magic flies through the air and mystic items buzz to life in this combo building game of tiles and card play. Anyone who knows me knows how much I like combo building games. One of the reasons I like it so much is that building and pulling off

  5. Charlie's Take - Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game

    Charlie's Take - Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game

    When Fantasy Flight announced Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game, I was pretty jazzed. Warhammer Quest was a big part of my youth and connection to this hobby. The Sadler brothers are rock solid and have been involved in some great games. Most importantly, I trust Fantasy Flight Games. That's why it's so shocking how nonplussed I was. The design is certainly competent and has some clever mechanisms. You have asymmetrical characters, a solid array of scenarios, and many different types of

    Charlie's Take - Quartermaster General: Victory or Death

    Quartermaster General was a game that caught my interest yet majorly underwhelmed. It took a long while after my first play to really articulate what bothered me about the game. Gathering my thoughts proved as aggravating as the card-driven invasion of Europe. After a single play I was content divining that this design was not for me and I'd avoid it in the future. Then I was hoodwinked. My buddy Aaron, a masochistic Quartermaster General fan, grabbed Victory or Death at Gen Con. He lured me in

    Charlie's Take - Let Them Eat Cake

    Osprey games has seriously impressed me. Escape From The Aliens In Outer Space came in and killed it critically. The Ravens Of Thri Sahashri arrived and quickly became one of my favorite two player card games. Agamemnon was an abstract game that I actually enjoyed. So, does Let Them Eat Cake get the icing or the guillotine? The game starts off promising enough: "The glorious revolution has done away with tyranny! Now you and your friends make up the Committee of Public Safety, overseeing
