World of Tanks Miniatures Game

We're gonna keep fighting. Is that CLEAR? We're gonna attack all night, we're gonna attack tomorrow morning. If we are not VICTORIOUS, let no man come back alive!

Bilder

Bilder is essentially charades with wooden shapes. But the thing is, it doesn't need to be more than that to be exactly what it was meant to be: a fun, casual party game.

Pendulum

Pendulum is a Stonemaier game in that it takes a chance on putting gameplay mechanics together that you might not immediately consider compatible. It is also a Stonemaier game in that it doesn't excel at any one of those mechanics. The turn-by-turn version isn't a stand out implementation of worker placement and the real-time execution is obviously the hook but it never managed to truly set it for me. Plenty of the gameplay relies on you spotting excellent cards during the heat of the moment and making sure you have dibs on them. But the biggest issue was that after a couple of games, even the real-time element, each play felt the same as the previous one and we had seen everything it had to offer.

Wingspan is, by no means, a bad game. It is a decent one. I do not foresee Wingspan getting purged from my shelves any time soon. Everyone I have played it with has easily grasped it, enjoyed it, and would play it again. It doesn't bother me, per se, that I don't get “better” with each game. Anyone with a firm grasp on the gameplay, a realization that eggs are key to winning, and just the right amount of luck can win. Maybe that is one of the keys to why it is so popular.

Fight Your Friends

As an entertaining game, I didn't feel Fight Your Friends succeeded. It does, however, work well as a marketing tool for Independent Comics, I ended up checking out a number of the characters and comics from the game because they just seemed so damn cool. The artwork is certainly pretty on the outside but the inside the game, it is just pretty mundane.
