So you can imagine how excited we were when R. Eric Reuss, designer of Spirit Island, agreed to answer some questions for us about his own history with board games and his design process.

I’m a sucker for polyominos. My deep and abiding love for shoving longhouses full of cod, peas and ill-gotten treasures is well documented on our Twitch channel. But one of the best polyomino games I’ve played in recent years is Planet Unknown, AKA the game with the lazy susan.

And if you’ve played board games in the last ten years, there’s a good chance you’ve played one of his games. Whether the immensely popular Root, or one of his critically acclaimed historical games like John Company or Pax Pamir, he covers a broad range of tastes.

A proposed residential development in the Stonespine Mountains was blocked on Tuesday, when the Board of Commissioners denied a request to rezone nearly 130 acres of rural caverns.

I had the opportunity to try the highly anticipated Altered trading card game at the GAMA Expo and Trade Show. The game started making waves when it surpassed 6 million with its Kickstarter, last year. What can the average tcgplayer expect from this new game? How does it stack up against genre behemoths like Magic TCG, Lorcana and Pokemon?

The Boneshaper is a summoner and support class. They’re actually a very versatile class that can fit a lot of different roles depending on what your party needs. This may seem counter-intuitive, as the class seems like a typical low-health, magic-focused character. However, due to the number and versatility of their summons, they’re actually decent at either dealing damage or absorbing it.

Come watch us stream all day, for the kids! Sunday, November 13th.

Wendy has been experimenting with 3D printed terrain, in preparation for Frosthaven’s arrival. Of course, we don’t know everything that will be in Frosthaven. But the community has compiled a handy list of STL files from Gloomhaven that will likely translate to the new game.

We had a great time showing off Heisenburger at SHUX. A huge shout-out to everyone who came by and saw us at our booth. We collected lots of great feedback. Some of which we’re already implementing. By the time Heisenburger hits Kickstarter, it should be honed to perfection. We hope you’ll stick with us on that journey.

Today I’m going to be covering the class that my wife, Wendy, played during our Frosthaven demo. The Deathwalker. A very intense name for a class that is, in some ways, a lot simpler than the Geminate. The Deathwalker’s key mechanic revolves around placing shadow tokens on the board. Once placed, the Deathwalker can use these tokens to do things like teleport across the board, buff and heal allies and attack enemies.

Arkham has a fairly intense list of rules. It can be a bit much to keep up with. So I put together this player aid to help remind myself what things like various keywords mean. How enemies behave and how certain abilities are triggered.
