Dimension 20 has primarily used Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition across its campaigns, with occasional side quests using other systems. The main cast has only deviated from D&D for the sixth campaign, A Starstruck Odyssey, which utilized an unofficial Star Wars system.

Nintendo was founded in 1889, the same year the Eiffel Tower opened in Paris, starting as a manufacturer of Japanese playing cards.

Everbound uses an 18-card construct to fill out the crew of a pirate ship. You start with your Captain and a twinkle in yer eye. And presumably a ship. Yarrrr. You'll take one of two actions per turn. Draw: Take a card from the Dock. Recruit: Play a card from your hand by paying its icon cost.

Nintendo packed a lot of news into that 18-minute stream, including the sudden arrivals of three great games - Blue Prince, Minishoot' Adventures and Öoo - on Switch and/or Switch 2. The company revealed release dates for a bunch of games we've had on our radar, such as InKonbini: One Store (April 30), Denshattack! (June 17) and others.

This is for that friend that finishes the Wordle in three tries and solves the purple clues first in Connections. League of the Lexicon reminds me a bit of Trivial Pursuit - players or teams take turns asking everyone questions from a double-sided card with answers on the back. Questions come in five categories and cover synonyms, word origins, spelling, definitions, archaic words, grammar, linguistic trivia and more.

We do have a few senior managers that are [experts on AI]: none are that excited about it yet. We have agreed an internal policy to guide us all, which is currently very cautious, e.g., we do not allow AI-generated content or AI to be used in our design processes or its unauthorized use outside of GW, including in any of our competitions,

Through the ingenious medium of an interactive scrapbook, we play as Connie, glueing in photos, notes and memories of her friend after years of separation. The game begins with several attempts to write Connie a letter, before we cut-out, stick and sort the story of their lives together.

I wish this was a one-off blip in my regimented friendship schedule, but all through 2025 I played the world's slowest game of message tennis. I'd invite a pal for dinner, only for the world to turn, the seasons pass, grey hairs gather at my temples, before a date was finally locked in. This sentiment seems to be common among my circle.

So popular is the fantasy game that its parent company Games Workshop is valued at a staggering 6bn and is almost ever-present on British high streets. The fact a niche interest game invented by self-confessed geeks has become a huge global business is a story almost as unbelievable as those played out on its customers' kitchen tables. Games Workshop started as a mail order board games company run by three friends

Your skyport has dual-colored stations that score when airships of the same color land in a corresponding lane next to the station. Getting a couple of tycoons to help boost your score or change the placement abilities doesn't hurt. But, there's a catch. Each airship card's ability rarely allows for getting an airship next to the intended station on the first go.

MicroMacro: The Home Game Jigsaw Puzzle is a 500-piece puzzle that utilizes the same art style as all other MicroMacro titles. The puzzle depicts a socc....errrrr, a football game, as well as the neighborhood surrounding the stadium. It is "just" a puzzle; however, there is more to it after you complete it. There are forty-two hidden objects to find (think Where's Waldo?), as well as two cases to solve, like other MicroMacro games.

Creatively, we've always let our North Star be our own personal taste in terms of what we think is cool--what it is we enjoy and want to see. I've seen too many TV shows and books be swayed trying to please a lot of people, and in the process you end up losing the heart of what's there,

TPK, a combo brewery and gaming space that opened in 2023, eases entry for newcomers and provides a soft landing for the socially rusty. "Especially coming out of the pandemic, we had a lot of people in their mid-30s [who] were like, 'I have no way to connect with anyone,'" says Elliott Kaplan, TPK's CEO and one of its three founders. "Well, we'll throw you at a table. All the social interactions will be overseen by a GM."

Peninsula uses a deck of 30 icon cards (or 24 if you are playing solo) with icons for each of the landscape features you will be placing on the island. Each card has two icons separated by a river. In competitive play, the active player selects the icon they want to add to their island. The remaining icon on the opposite side of the river is used by the other players.

So with an expansion recently released, we were itching to whip out our Clans of Caledonias and bolt trains onto them. For Science! Clans of Caledonia: Industria, from Juma Al-JouJou and published by Karma Games, is the first expansion for Clans of Caledonia. "First expansion" is in bold text in the English rulebook, so perhaps Juma is cooking up more content.

Oh No, We Crashed! has simple setup and it varies by planet. The spaceship standee is placed in the middle of the table; the system cards are placed face up around the ship and then component cards are placed face down around the component cards. The timer is then set by player count and players read the special rules (if any) on the planet the players crashed.
