Ice Cool – A Review

Last week I told you our top picks for board game fans this Christmas.  Well today I have another fab game from Esdevium Games to add to this list.  Ice Cool. Ice Cool is a game of luck and skill in which players race around rooms to collect points to win the game. Game set up is easy and the boxes make up the game board.  These are held together at the points indicated with the white fish…

Splendor – A Review

Another great game we have been playing recently from Esdevium Games is the strategic card game, Splendor. Although the game description sounds a little complex, once you read the rules and start playing it is relatively simple to understand and play. The game is for 2-4 players aged 10+ although Little Mr A was perfectly capable of playing so I do think younger players can play too. The game was…

I am part of the Blogger Board Game Club run by Playtime PR. Each month 50 bloggers are sent a new (or new-ish, or at least new to them) board game to play and put to the test. This month we were sent Rory’s Story Cubes, a game I am familiar with but have never played. Rory’s Story Cubes is a simple set of nine dice. Each dice is different and has a different image on each of its six sides. The…

Contrast – A Review

We love finding quick little card games we can play both at home and whilst out and about.  The latest card game we have been playing from Esdevium Games, Contrast is a fab little card game that is simple and quick to play and could easily be taken out of home to play. The aim of Contrast is to be the player to collect the most picture cards at the end of the game. Set up is easy.  Each player is…

Cortex Challenge Kids – A Review

A few weeks ago you may remember I told you about the Cortex Challenge game we had been playing from Esdevium Games?  We had a lot of fun with the game so, when I saw that there was a Kids version of the game I was interested to see if Little Miss A could join in with us. Cortex Challenge Kids is exactly the same as Cortex Challenge in that you need to win challenge cards to exchange for pieces…

Star Wars Destiny Two Player Game – A Review

With the new Star Wars film due to be released in December I am sure there will be many Star Wars fans with the Destiny game on their Christmas lists (I know Big Mr A is hoping for some booster packs!).  A great introductory set is the Star Wars Destiny two player game which the boys have been having a play with recently.  As it is not really my sort of game I will pass you over to Big Mr A to…

Nomads – A Review

The latest game we have been enjoying from Esdevium Games is Nomads. Nomads is a game for 2-5 players aged 8+.  I thought the age guidance was about right.  After a little assistance, Little Mr A was able to understand the gameplay and rules to play by himself against Big Mr A and myself. Including set up the game took us around 30-45 minutes to play. The game is centred around a Nomad camp. …
