We're Not Wizards - Tabletop Board Game Reviews

Nujum comes in a package that suggests a lot of thought went behind the presentation, with everything from the box the game arrived in, to the specially created star token that was obviously commissioned especially for the game itself, it makes you want to dive in and find out more about this abstract game which is based around guessing the movement of the stars at the beginning of astrology.  Overview Nujum is about playing cards in order to move the central star token up and down the track based on the number played from each player's card. Eclipse cards can be played to help change the outcome of the cards played.  Mainplay Nujum is aimed to sit in the lighter part of the market and the main turn is extremely quick to play through. On your turn, you'll decide a card to play, leave it face down. The other player will then decide their card and then the cards are revealed, with the opponent's card playing out first, followed by your own. Each of the cards will either move

 Joined by Millie Lavelle to chat about running RPGs, chasing podcasters at UKGE and what makes for a good gaming session.  So this was a fun one to do, as I don't talk to many people on the RPG side of the hobby, but fear not, we do get our board game chat in there too.  Links of Notes   https://drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=Millie+Lavelle&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=  https://instagram.com/milliethegm/  http://twitch.tv/GarblagGames  - Tuesday Streams!  https://twitter.com/MillietheGM    If you would like to support more written pieces on the blog then please consider backing us on Patreon.  www.patreon.com/werenotwizards

  You've got to wonder when board games are fully going to enter their phase where instead of designers creating games that are drastically different from others for difference sake, that they just do what films and television do, which is to take a old loved out of print game and just give it a reboot with a shiny new cast and makeover. We've seen the magic that Restoration games have brought to the table in the form of a couple of old and adored tabletop darlings but if you had asked me to bet good money on what designer would bring Libertalia to the table after its out of print absence, you would have won a crisp ten, because Stonemaier is the last company I would expect to go down this route. After some aggressive negotiations from Captain Jamey 'The Stone' Maier and Paolo Mori. It's time to cast off to find out if this is recently dug up buried treasure, or some scurvy knave is taking off with your much earned doubloons. Overview Libertalia is a hand management

  One of the interesting things to happen to the Funko range of games in the last couple of years is the abundance of intellectual properties they have dived into and how they have started to develop a series of games that try not to offer a simple coat of paint over some even simpler mechanics. We've seen everything from Back to the Future to Top Gun and even some more obscure properties like Rear Window. Most surprising to me is the development of  a light economic route building game under the  theme of the ill fated American Airline Pan Am, a company that ceased trading in 1991 after a series of unfortunate events.  Overview Pan Am centres around developing airline routes around the world as a airplane operator and then trying to sell these routes on to the Pan Am corporation. The main mechanics revolve around hand management mixed with a touch of route and area control as you try to build up valuable networks that you can sell on.  Mainplay When you first look at the map, you
