Dixit

Dixit Kew Sheng Yao Date of review: 17/9/2015 Edited by: Simon Joseph Have you ever wondered how a picture is worth a thousand words? Look no further than Dixit as it is a narrative driven game that taps on the player’s imagination. The game is designed for 3 to 6 players and a standard game lasts around 30 minutes or so. At the start, each player will draw 6 fascinating cards. A designated ‘story teller’ chooses a card and places it faced down. Then the storyteller will be using words, phrases, stories, or even actions to describe the card while others guess and place a card face down, trying to match the card with the storyteller’s description. The cards are then shuffle and place face up in a row. Each player (Other than the story teller) has to guess which card belongs to the story teller and vote. Then the card’s owner [...]

Gloom

Gloom Written By: Mokan Edited By: Simon Joseph Date of Review: 21/9/15 Gloom is a gothic, storytelling card game that caters to 2 to 4 players. Gloom is published by Atlas Games. The game takes approximately 60 minutes to complete. In Gloom, a player takes control of a family of five and the player must manipulate the fates of this family. The goal of the game is simple and a tad bit depressive; the player with the most miserable family wins the game. As for gameplay, players take turns to narrate a storyline for the characters with their hand cards. Optimally playing the negative cards like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets onto their own line of family and playing joyous moments of life like Marriages to other families. When all the 5 member of a family dies, the game ends. With that the points of all dead members [...]

Munchkin

Munchkin Written By: Mokan Edited By: Simon Joseph Date of Review: 21/9/15 Teaming up with friends, backstabbing them when they least expect it or just battling legendary monsters is commonplace in Munchkin. If any of the above appeals to you, perhaps you should give Munchkin a shot! Munchkin caters to 3 to 6 players. Munchkin has a game time of approximately 60 minutes. Munchkin is a fantasy card game in which players would have to embark on an adventure through a dungeon and face mighty monsters along their path. The goal of the player is to reach level 10 before the others do. In a regular turn, players would have to “break down the door”, and if they encounter any monster, they have to fight it. If the monster are too strong for the player to fight it down alone, player can ask for help from other players, and thats [...]

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Age of Sigmar Reviewed by Simon Joseph Date of Review: September 18th, 2015 If you already are familiar with the Warhammer franchise by Games Workshop, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar is the revamp (or reboot) of Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy. For the uninitiated, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar is a tabletop miniature war game that has its players to clash their armies in climatic battles. As with the most tabletop miniature war games, players spend weeks and months (or even years in some cases) collecting, painting, and assembling their armies. With that said, some perceive the Warhammer franchise as more of a hobby than a game. So how does Warhammer: Age of Sigmar play? Unlike its predecessor, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar is really simple to pick up, even for new players. The rules are simple enough for most to understand. With the removal of the point system that was in Warhammer: Fantasy, [...]

Cards Against Humanity

Cards against Humanity Written By: Mokan Edited By: Simon Joseph Date of Review: 21/9/15  Cards against Humanity is the latest card game that has been creating a lot of buzz worldwide. Cards against Humanity, is not a typical card game you would have played before. As said in the cover itself, it is a “party game for horrible people”. And if you are not horrible person, well you probably be one during the game. That’s because of the content written on the cards. If you can discard the negative words and sentences you would end up making up, there is definitely a lot of humour and fun to take away from each round. This game is played by having one player to be the person posing the question by playing the black card and the rest trying to answer the question by playing a white card from their hand. The [...]
