Eldritch Horror Review - Board Game Quest
Apr 8, 2014 · Eldritch Horror is a fantastic game for those looking for some adventure in the Cthulhu Mythos. The game is easy to learn, plays smoothly, and is highly thematic. For anyone that wants to go up against the Ancient Ones, this one’s worth a look. If you are interested in getting a copy for yourself, it’s about $40.
Exit: The Game Review - Board Game Quest
Jun 20, 2017 · EXIT: The Game was definitely a unique take on the escape room genre, yet it’s not without its flaws. The puzzles ranged from insidiously clever, to outright tedious. And it’s the puzzles that are going to make or break the games. None of us minded the one-and-done nature of the game play, as it clocks in at about $15.
Wingspan Review - Board Game Quest
Jan 2, 2019 · Wingspan garnered a reaction from me that rarely occurs: I learned the game, played it, and immediately wanted to play again. And again. It was just SO fun. Each bird has a special power that can be activated in one of a few different ways. The best aspect of the game is the engine you build on your player board.
Root Review - Board Game Quest
Oct 2, 2018 · Root takes a lot of inspiration from Leder Games’ previous title, Vast. Each player controls a unique faction and the setup and mechanisms for every faction is completely different. Unlike Vast, however, everyone has the same goal: score 30 points. Most of the actions you can take are driven, in part, by a deck of cards.
Hues and Cues Review - Board Game Quest
Dec 22, 2020 · Game Experience: Hues and Cues exists firmly in the same world as a game like Dixit. It’s easy to jump in and play. It’s also easy to learn and accommodates a huge number of players. But for me, Dixit requires more of a storytelling brain. You have to interpret a picture and you can choose to give a short clue but you can open it up to a ...
Mansions of Madness Review - Board Game Quest

Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps! Review
Apr 23, 2021 · Final Thoughts: I’m a huge Aliens fan and I can say the same of the board game Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps!. This game has a similar look and feel of the 1986 blockbuster and places players directly into the suspense and action on LV-426. The 7 heroes and grunts are pulled straight from the main characters of the film.
Scythe Review - Board Game Quest
Jul 1, 2021 · The Scythe game board is composed of territory hexes. Each hex has a primary terrain type that will produce specific resources. There’s also lake terrain that can only be accessed by certain factions, as well as a central factory that provides an incentive for those who can both control the hex during play, as well as at the end of the game.
The Isle of Cats Review - Board Game Quest
Apr 21, 2020 · The goal is to group cats of the same color together for more points, to cover rats on your ship (negative VPs), and to fill up rooms. The game ends at the end of the fifth round. Players earn points for families of cats, lesson cards, rare treasures, and lose points for unfilled rooms and rats left on the ship. Most points wins.
