I keep hearing how Fantasy Flight Games’ X-Wing is a massive, massive success. The first miniatures that came with the game looked a bit grubby to me (judging solely from internet pictures). Fantasy Flight keeps releasing new miniatures all the …

It’s the best time of the year, I don't mean Christmas with it’s over indulgence and prezzies. I don't mean the summer when it’s one of the five days in the UK calendar where it’s brave enough to sit outside without a waders. I mean i…
The last few News Colliders have all been about video games but that’s not why we’re here. No we prefer our games cut from card and prefer to sit opposite our opponent and look them straight in the eye so this news collection has some news on a…

I got the original Talisman back in the 1990s, and one expansion that I always enjoyed was the Talisman Timescape which introduced a science fiction (okay science fantasy) element to the game. Though intrigued by the new version of Talisman from Fantas…
I have continued playing the Lord of the Rings LCG solo over the past week. I finished playing through the Passage Through Mirkwood 10 times and started on Journey Down the Anduin. I’ve made some changes to my deck, and I’m not sure if I’ll need more for this next quest. I also realized I 
One of the playable missions in the X-Wing Miniatures Game is called ’Political Escort’ and the game comes with a punch out card stock Senator’s Shuttle to use in the mission. This is pretty cool but it would be even better rep…
So due to a little miniature game burnout and other life reasons, I haven’t gotten to The Only Game In Town to play Warmachine for quite some time. We’ve been having our every-other-week board game nights and playing video games, but I had started to feel like I was missing gaming a little bit. Eventually

Hi there! For many of us, a good war-game has always been about creating an exciting narrative and a memorable gaming experience. When I got myself a copy of the X-Wing Miniatures Game, I knew I would have an awesome time of it dog fighting w…

Fantasy Flight Games announced Unseen Forces, the first expansion for Elder Sign, the cooperative dice game of Lovecraftian horror. The museum harbors artifacts that draw the attention of horrible beings, and the unfathomable wills of these creatures make themselves known in the form of blessings and curses. New Ancient Ones, monsters, and investigators accompany the introduction of these powers, and the entrance of the museum has been remodeled, adding new locations and options for the beleaguered investigators. Countless mysteries confront the investigators, and they cannot hope to comprehend the wills at work in this conflict. These forces may choose to help or hinder humans who dabble in the arcane mysteries of the universe. In Unseen Forces, blessings may fall on a lucky investigator, or a curse can confound those who are not careful. New dice represent the whims of these powers from beyond. A white die is added to the dice pool of players who have been blessed, and investigators suffering from a cursed condition must roll the black die. The white die gives the blessed investigator an extra icon to work with to complete his tasks. The black die forces a player to discard one die in his pool [...]
Letters from Whitechapel is a thematically engrossing board game of deduction and bluffing in which one player takes the role of the infamous Jack the Ripper, while up to five other players are detectives working together to pursue him through Victorian London.

Meanwhile, the detectives must use clever deduction and their superior numbers to hunt Jack the Ripper down before he can kill again or elude them forever. Letters from Whitechapel includes: 1 Rulebook, Game Board, and Jack Screen 6 Reference Sheets and 4 Jack’s Letter Sheets 5 Head of the Investigation Tiles and 5 Special Movement Tokens 16 Wooden Tokens, 12 Wooden Pawns, and 27 Plastic Markers Players familiar with the previous English-language edition of Letters from Whitechapel (published by Nexus Games in 2011) may be wondering what, if anything, is different about this revised edition. In short, certain components have been altered based on player feedback. The Jack the Ripper Screen has been improved. The map is bigger, and the chart of the Special Movement tokens is now shown on it, so players don’t have to look at the rulebook during the game. The new [...]
