    Horror on the Orient Express: The Board Game lures you into the luxurious Orient Express in the 1920s, taking you on a dangerous train ride into the realm of the Dreamlands.

Can you solve the dark secrets of the Orient Express before time runs out?


    In this cooperative game, you and the other investigators try to survive on the doomed train. To win, you must hunt out the cultists to stop them from performing a hideous ritual and ensure the train reaches its destination. Each of you controls a character who can develop new skills, gather items, talk to the passengers, discover clues, and, ultimately, decide the train's fate. You may even learn a spell or two!


    Horror on the Orient Express: The Board Game brings the award-winning Call of Cthulhu horror and mystery TTRPG into the board gaming world. Special rules, ongoing character development, and awesome play pieces provide a challenging and exciting gaming experience. Your journey on the Orient Express will be something to remember!

  • どっと・ゾンビ Dot Zombies Review

    Dot Zombies is a tile placement game where players are divided into 3 Survivors and 1 Zombie. The Survivors aim to escape from the Zombie by playing all 10 cards in their hand to achieve victory. The survival of other Survivors is not relevant; your goal is to stay alive.
    Find out more on the Boardgamegeek website: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/393359/dot-zombies
    The conditions for playing cards are as follows:
    Place cards in a way that connects to the paths on Survivor cards.

    The Zombie wins by blocking all escape routes for the Survivors, preventing their escape. If even one Survivor is unable to escape, it results in defeat.
    The Zombie should play cards according to the following conditions:
    Place cards in a way that connects to the paths on Survivor cards.

    When a Zombie card connects to a Survivor card, that Survivor becomes infected and turns into a Zombie card.

  • Evil Genius Games disclaimer: a red herring?

    As you may know, Evil Genius Games went into meltdown a few days ago after a number of workers left the company with complains of unethical behaviour that made their position untennable.

    Soon after Evil Genius Games released a press release with the stance on AI work. Was that what brought up all this debacle?
    We also talk about ENWorld article about the topic and what bits are the good ones to keep in mind.
    And lastly, we answer a question that @jonathanfranklin461, one of our viewers/listeners left in the comments: "how to do handle exploration in games without the players feeling like they are making a random choice or that the adventure is on rails?"

  • The rise and fall of EGG and their multiple licenses. A review of The Walking Dead RPG

    Evil Genius Games (EGG) is falling like a led balloon after a number of people have left the company citing ethical concerns". In this episode we talk about that and I give you a review of the Walking Dead Universe RPG Starter Set.


    Among others, EGG has licenses for Pacific Rim, The Crow, Highlander and, until recently, Rebel Moon. They lost that license after NETFLIX pulled out because of alleged confidentiality breaches and both companies have settled recently.


    What's going on in there and what is the future of the company?

  • Interview with Jamey Stegmeier about Wyrmspan

    Jamey Stegmeier has produced and designed some amazing games and is releasing Wyrmspan in a matter of weeks.

    This game has already received criticism for being a cole of Wingspan, so we had to ask Jamey if the rumours are true and what are the differences between the two.
