Why No Buzz? A Review of Pixel Glory: Light and Shadow

Pixel Glory: Light and Shadow was released in 2018. It has a highly playable solo mode, is easy to set up, quick to play and a lot of fun. So how come people aren’t talking about this game? Is it because of the misleading information on the box? Or a menacing conspiracy of wargamers? I might be unable to answer these questions, but I’ll give you a rundown of the game and share some thoughts.

A Review of The Lost Expedition: The Fountain of Youth and Other Adventures

When I reviewed The Lost Expedition I enjoyed it so much that I bought Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth, a game based on the same set of rules. I reviewed that game as well and liked it even more.

REVIEW: Palm Island

Palm Island is a 17 card handheld game where your goal is to make a paradise island prosper by managing resources; improving mining, fishing and woodworking facilities; and upgrading buildings. On the box it says it’s “a game you can take anywhere.” The cats were sleeping and didn’t want to hang out, so I brought the game to the park to try it out.
