Since the days of Galileo, astronomers have been gazing into the night sky, calling dibs on particular planets, comets and star formations among other fascinating elements in space. StarFall is a board game that puts you and your friends behind the telescope as you lay claim to formations in space.

Karuba Review
Best known for making quality kid-friendly games such as Animal Upon Animal, Karuba by Haba Games is a step forward for making strategic games for the whole family. In it, players will race their adventurers across an island in hopes of collecting the most treasure. Should you trek through this jungle in search of treasure and glory?
The Pursuit of Happiness Review
I have a soft spot in my heart for The Game of Life. Despite only discovering it in my adult years, I greatly enjoyed the experience of playing through the life of my character. However, as I refined my taste in board games, the faults in the classic game’s design became too difficult to ignore. Sure, the theme continues to be great, but the outcome was almost entirely driven by the luck of the spinner.
The Pursuit of Happiness takes the theme that makes The Game of Life great and places it into a board game with modern worker placement mechanics. Eschewing the dice and most elements of chance, it aims to simulate the human condition with gameplay that is much more strategic in nature. Is this the hobby-grade version of The Game of Life you never knew you wanted?
Escape Room: The Game Impressions
For the past few years, escape rooms as a social activity have really taken off. Personally, I’ve gone a few times myself, though I’ve only escaped in time once. While the experience of puzzle solving with friends is great, it’s also quite expensive when you account for the admission costs of everyone involved.
Escape Room: The Game aims to capture the thrills of that experience as a cheaper tabletop board game. Do you have what it takes to escape these scenarios in time?

Board Game Talk is Coming Back! (Sort Of)
After a solid string of Board Game Talk episodes, I was hoping to replicate that seasonal format for the show. However, due to life circumstances making it hard to shoot, I think I’m going to have to forgo that original plan in order to keep what I do have in the can from going stale.
As such, I’ll be releasing the next three episodes on Sunday June 4th, Sunday June 11th and Sunday June 18th. Hope you tune in!

Wits & Wagers Family Edition Review
Wits & Wagers Family Edition is a “family friendly” spin-off of the hit trivia game. While I wouldn’t necessarily classify classic Wits & Wagers as being unfriendly to families, there are some changes to the core formula that further widen the game’s appeal. Is this revision worthy of your family’s next game night?
