board games

GeekOn! is currently running a Kickstarter for a whole range of board game travel/transport accessories, some of which I’ve tried out previously (the portable dice tower + nesting tray is great). Things are a bit pricey individually, so the bundles are where it’s at.

Detective: City of Angels is a board game inspired by LA Noire. I’m in the middle of my review of it right now, actually, but there’s already a Kickstarter for the game’s second expansion, which adds more expert cases to the game. 

Reigns, a very good video game, has now been turned into a board game. You can check out the Kickstarter here.

Axis & Allies: 1942 is coming to early access on Steam on July 31. I know I just said digital board game adaptations suck, but 1) This is an Axis & Allies game, and 2) The developers have put some work in making the whole thing look very video gamey, which is nice.

Gloomhaven, one of the biggest board games of the last decade, is getting a video game adaptation. This is our first chance to check out how it’ll actually play, and it looks pretty good!
