    Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy Review

    By

    Empire building in the vast, cold reaches of outer space has been a popular topic in gaming for many decades: both for video games and traditional board games. Many would have thought it had been mined for all it had. So it came as a shock in 2010 when a little-known Scandinavian publisher released the board game Eclipse to a solar storm of critical adulation.

    Trial of the Clone Review

    By

    I'd never heard of Zach Weinersmith, author of Trial of the Clone, but I probably should have. The author of a popular webcomic, he decided to try his hand at writing a gamebook and gathered the necessary funds via Kickstarter. The resulting book has now made its way to iOS and into my review queue.

There's been little innovation in the genre in recent years, but the genre has now moved to computers, with the potential for new directions to explore.

    Abalone Review

    Abstract board games are amongst the oldest entertainments devised by humanity. And despite the dominance of ancient classics like Chess and Go, abstracts are still being designed and produced in the modern age. Abalone is one such, originally released in 1987, and now taking the jump to the iPad.

    Slitherine’s Legion Review

    By

    I live in a city with some of the most complete Roman ruins outside Italy. People come from all around the world to see them, and inconsiderately get in my way when I'm shopping or trying to get to work. The fascination with ancient Rome remains undimmed, and manifests itself in many peculiar ways, not least with games such as Legion.

    Dungeon Plunder Review

    By

    When the free dungeon crawler Rogue was invented in 1980, I doubt anyone imagined it would spawn a host of spin-offs legion enough to last over 30 years and invent its own genre. But it did. Its impact is seen everywhere from blockbuster hits like the Diablo series to more modest iOS games such as Dungeon Plunder.

    Amber Route Review

    By

    There's a growing range of great and not-so-great board game conversions available on the iPad.

The latest is Amber Route.
