Today I have a pleasure to welcome here Phil Eklund, one of the most prolific designers, famous for his ambitious games that not only have interesting mechanisms, but come with a stunning amount of scientific research. I personally met Phil a few years ago at the convention in Bremen, Germany

Two weeks ago we tackled ‘Why can’t we be friends’ expansion for Amazons, now it’s time to go for their fierce set collections within the next expansion: 3 is a magic number. Harmonia will be watching over our deck to make sure, that we’ve prepared our cards properly to get

We’re in New York at Rimmel’s place, after a long journey across the Ocean. Tomorrow we will get back on a ship and set off to Brazil. Once we’re there, we can’t waste time. We will head towards the Cuiabá of the Mato Grosso right away. We will be able

Golden Geek Most Innovative Board Game Nominee, Golden Geek Best Thematic Board Game Nominee, Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee… One of the hottest games of 2016. #CryHavoc. One year Gen con hit. Another year, old story, huh? I could talk long about that. How does the cult of

I don’t exactly know how it happened. Did the manufacturer come with this idea and send us a sample or it was my employee Greg who asked them to prepare it for us. I don’t know. What’s important, one day I found a pawn for Robinson on my desk. Man,
