Luigi's Mansion 3

My youngest loves this game. She played it at @gorgontears house a few years ago. She just saw it in the store and asked if we could get it. She loves playing it and more importantly she asks me if I can play it with her. That's an automatic 5 stars from me.

11d Axis & Allies

Tabletop Axis & Allies

This is my GOAT. There is not, nor will there ever be, a boardgame with as many hours as I have put into this game. So many great memories playing this game and my review will reflect that.

First of all, knowing what kind of game Axis & Allies is matters. It is a scenario based strategic historical war game. There are very limited goals (capture the other capitals) and the choices the players can make are confined within the scenario. A lot of the freedom of play within modern board games is not found here because this is scenario based war game where the slight changes in tactics and luck make a difference. You are the generals standing over a map of the battlefield running your options over and over. If you want more scenarios to simulate there are several more A&A games to depict both smaller battlefields and other worldwide wars. (I've always wanted to play the WWI based A&A 1914)

I have played this game with several groups and most of them really get into it. Everyone is standing just about the entire time walking around the table and looking at the battles from different perspectives. The teams (Axis or Allies) are always talking over different strategies and options, and since everyone is at the table together you might try to throw some deceptive intel out and see if your opponents bite. The more you get into the idea and treat it like the war room table depicted in movies and shows the more enjoyment you will get from this game.

This is definitely a looong game. The time on the box is 3 hours and that is probably one of the shortest games of this I've played. This is a commitment. I've had full day gaming sessions where we only played this game (8-12 hours). I would love to play some more of these with some of the other A&A games.

This is a very niche game where the engagement matters. If you are a war or historical buff you might enjoy this game.

I've played so many games over the years it sometimes takes ma a bit to remember which game is what. This time it took reading @dennis 's review.

It's a good game. I like the theme and the strategy behind the game. I'm not big on the collect different resources like brick, wheat, fabric and such. I always seem to struggle with that element in a game.

A very fun game where you are exploring a haunted house. At some point in the game there is a haunting and one player turns on the others. The objective it to survive.

There are a lot of scenarios in this game. A few of them are not the clearest but that is definitely not worth knocking a star off.

20d Blood Rage

Tabletop Blood Rage

Ok. I love this game for a lot of reasons.

First, the components of this game are fantastic. If you love miniatures then you have to check this game out. I painted the miniatures for my friend's copy of the game and they look great. There are normal sized miniatures for your Vikings and over sized ones for the monsters.

Second, there are many different ways to score. Each card has one of the Viking gods listed on it. Use ones with the same god to create a point engine machine and watch your score climb. Some focus on winning battles or controlling areas or even dying the most. The key is picking a strategy and going with it.

Finally, I enjoy PvP and take that games. You are Viking clans battling each other for glory. But based on the gods my glory might be different than your glory.

Tabletop Monopoly (Boardgame)

Its hard to deny the hours of play with my siblings. (Yes I am the oldest so I was the one inflicting the trauma😆) Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, and Trouble where the games we would play growing up and the nostalgic feeling i get when thinking of this game matters.

Its not a game I would invite friends over to play but my children enjoy playing it with me and who can argue against that. We actually have the Ultimate Banking Edition and it helps with a lot of the issues people have. Electronic scoring so it's hard to cheat and every game we've played has been completed in an hour.

Historical, this is such an important game too. It might not hold up to the standards of today, but it held the standard of family gaming for so long. If Babe Ruth can still be considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time then I can't give this less than 3 stars.

24d Munchkin edited

Tabletop Munchkin

The game that almost ended @dennis and my friendship early on.

I come from a family where take that mechanics are a big deal. If someone screws you over early in a game it is ok to hold on to that until later in the game and get them back even if it doesn't affect the outcome of the game. I learned that night that the rest of my boardgame group did not have that background or play that way. Thus I've been labeled the one to backstab the group or be the traitor. Ironically any game we've played that has a traitor mechanic always ends up being someone else.

All that being said, it is a good game with the right group.

It's your typical party game of everyone has cards and you try to find one that matches the clue that was given. Where it differs is it revolves around art work and the clue giver is trying to have you guess their card and everyone else is trying to get you to pick theirs.

Tabletop Dungeon Kart

Being a fan of the BossMonster world and Mario Kart I was looking forward to this game. It did not disappoint me. I have played several "Kart style" board games and this one feels the most like Mario Kart the Board Game. After playing a preview round at GenCon I backed the top tier of the Kickstarter and got every element for the game available.

The Bosses are tired of luring heroes to their demise and decide to enjoy a "friendly" kart race around the dungeons. The track is completely modular. Race over spell books to learn spells that you may use against the other racers. But look out. The heroes have made their way onto the track and cause you to spin out.

Its a good game. My problem is most of the time I play it with people who "PLAY CATAN." As some who plays it every once in great while (last time was 4 years ago) I end up not finding it enjoyable.

This was the first game I ever backed on Kickstarter, and I can't tell you how happy I am with that choice. This is perhaps my favorite tabletop game. I have every element for this game and the expansions.

This is a wonderful worker placement where you send your workers to the main island to perform task such as researching dino DNA, buying fences or goats, recruiting guest, or sabotaging your opponents. You then use the resources collected to build your own dinosaur amusement park island. Build your reputation through engineering different types of dinosaurs to attract tourist and watch your victory points climb.

600d The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Before you hate let me explain. This is a 5 star game, but there is one issue which dropped it for me and I'll get to it in a bit.

First, as of writing this I have not finished the game so aspects of my review might change. I absolutely loved Breath of the Wild and TotK is the perfect sequel. The feel of BotW remains and is expanded in TotK. The added 3 dimensional aspect through exploring the Sky and Underground is fantastic. Everything which was great in BotW is made even better in TotK.

The storyline of TotK is very cohesive. Each cut scene/flashback/memory adds elements to understanding what's going on in the game and even helps solve some of the "big questions" Link is facing. I made finding the memories a priority before I even attempt any of the dungeons.

Overall I did like the Sheikah Slate abilities from BotW better than the Zonai abilities. This is mostly because of my playstyle. The ability to create devices and contraptions is cool but I find myself searching for other solutions first. Fuse is great for using with arrows, but I would rather have decent weapons rather than having to add a giant boulder onto a sword and have this monstrosity on my back. Ascend is amazing. It is my favorite ability in TotK. Rewind is ok but I haven't done much with it at this point. I often find myself wishing for the bombs and cryonis from BotW. These are just a matter of my preferences. I realize others will play the game differently and use some of the abilities more than I do.

Ok. Here it is. The reason I only gave this a 4 star rating. The Gloom feels too much like a horror game and scares my 8y/o. She loves BotW and was looking forward to this game. I find myself encouraging her to play BotW instead of TotK and that bothers me. Yes, this is a fantastic game for us old guys, but if a Zelda game can't be played by a child then it missed what should be its target audience. I couldn't imagine it being 1988 and 8y/o me having nightmares from Zelda II (and yes its difficulty was a different type of nightmare.) I love Zelda games today because 8y/o me was able to play Zelda II. My daughter not being able to play TotK because it is too scary is my biggest disappointment in the Zelda franchise.

Marvel Snap

A fun and addictive game and I do recommend playing it. However, the few elements I have issues with keep it from being a 5 star game.

I absolutely despise the ability to retreat. It disproportionately hurts the person who was winning (only getting half the cubes of what they would have got) while reducing the number of cubes lost by the one who retreats.

The other complaint I have is there is no upgrading of cards. The upgrading ability in the game is strictly aesthetic. The cards look better and flashy, but there is no difference between a base level card and a fully (infinite) upgraded card when it comes to game play. There should be a way to upgrade the card's ability or power or lower its cost. Imaging the drive to upgrade if the cost dropped by 1 (min. 1) when you reach infinite level. Make upgrading a little more difficult than it is now and you would add a powerful motivation to work at the game and upgrade.

Mario Party, but with Muppets on a cruise ship! And truth be told, I enjoy these mini games more than any Mario Party I've ever played. (I played it on a PS2)

Simple concept, but a challenge. My family would see who could clear it the quickest. Nerds.

The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle

My dad wasn't a gamer so I have very few gaming memories with him. But Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle is one of them. I remember taking turns working through the levels and making a list of the level codes so we could return to the current level. (I might still have the list too.) I found out much later that my dad stayed up late to beat the game. He then helped me with the game never letting on that he had worked through it.

Adding to the memories, I have introduced this game to my daughters and they love it. What a wonderful experience to be on this side of the game.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter

I couldn't wait for this game to be released. I loved X-Wing and played it non stop. When TIE Fighter was announced I saved my money and begged dad to take me to the store to get it. What a wonderful game this was. Challenging and entertaining. Everything a teenage boy could ask for in a Star Wars game.

I play this way too much. The best part of this game is the tracks change every 2 weeks. That's what keeps it fun and why I think the added the expansion pass tracks to MK8.

Mario Golf: Super Rush

I absolutely love this game. I gave it 4 stars as an average between solo and online mode. The game is at its best when played with others. Especially if playing with others like myself who enjoy using special shots to screw with your opponents. (I also enjoy being the victim of a well placed special shot.)

There was nothing bigger than the release of SMB3. I remember the joy of checking the mailbox and finding the Nintendo Power Super Mario Bros. 3 edition. Even today, I love this game. It is perhaps the only retro game from my childhood I will pick up and still enjoy playing.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

As someone new to Smash Bros this is a bit overwhelming with all the character options. Plus, never having played a SSB game the concept of "off stage" is really hard to get used to and I make myself fall off all the time.

Update: I just lowered it a star. See my Rage Quit question post. https://channel3.gg/quest?id=69

2nd Update on request of @elrey. Everything said before still holds, but I raised it some. I've had the game for a year now and it is slowly growing on me. Who you play with matters. Setting the rules preferences for online play helps. A lot less of the craziness of trying to learn everything, but still too many characters to allow someone to pick the game up and easily slide in. I think it will max out at 3/5 for me.
