The North
More actions
A design by John Clowdus of Small Box Games, The North is a minimalistic 2-player game with multi-use cards that create a surprising strategic depth. Players seek to damage each other's health while they play cards as either ancients or facilities, creating combos and bringing bizarre, arcane technology and organisms to life in the mysterious, frozen wasteland.

Episode 117: All Decked Out
It's time for another "What we love, what we hate", and this time we're looking at deck builders! Its been twelve years since Dominion blew things up, and since then you don't have to look very far to see a game that uses the mechanic. We look at the highs and lows of deck building as a mechanic, and discuss some of our favourite games that use it. We also talk about Bruxelles 1897, Elysium, and Can't Stop. |

Episode 97: Eleven Herbs and Biases
We've all got them, whether we'll care to admit it or not, quirks and and biases that might be irrational, but nevertheless affect our judgement of the games we play. This week we're looking at a few of the little things that might weigh a game in or out of our favour, even if they don't necessarily make much sense. Before we exercise extreme prejudice, we talk about Flamme Rouge, The North, and Ragusa. |
