Tom: It’s still Monday! What happens on Mondays? The MONDAY POST! It’s absolutely sagging with letters and parcels and maybe just a little birthday card or two! Whose birthday is it? BOARDGAMES! They’re twelve.
Review: Twilight Imperium Prophecy of Kings
Another much-requested video lands on the site this week – it’s Prophecy of Kings! But can the excitement of this massive box pry Matt away from the beloved, basic version of Twilight Imperium? Only time will tell! Approximately 20 minutes of your time, if you’ve got it.

Hello humans! It’s another Monday here, which means the start of another week of THINGS. This week should be a fun one, I hope – tomorrow on the stream we’ll be doing a Print & Play-Along session of Super Skill Pinball 2! Fire up that deskjet or digitally draw on a PDF like a wizard as we check out the sequel to this brilliant roll & write.

“It’s time to GUSH… about your CRUSH!”
It’s challenging to imagine a more nauseating line of marketing copy, and yet that’s exactly what Dream Crush expects you to do. I won’t stand for it.
Wait, Quinns thinks this game is good? He thinks this game is good? He thinks this game is good? I’m uncertain about all of this, but I’m going to press play all the same.

Tom: Today’s the day, and that day is Monday – and on this particular Monday, there’s been an absolutely chunky spread of errors; a peanut butter of wrongdoing!
Quinns is on review duty this week, but due to a large time accident the game we planned coverage of doesn’t come out until… next year? WHOOPS.
