In our recent review of World Wonders we mentioned how it's more than just a tile-laying game and that there's plenty to think about during the game.

In addition to the spatial layout of your city, you need to consider the money you have to spend, how your resources are growing, where you want to be in turn order, how to keep expanding with roads, and when you'll meet the requirements for adding a monument to your city.

Well, if that's not enough for you, Arcane Wonders has already published an expansion for the game!

It's time to take a look at World Wonders: Mundo Wonders Pack.

Minecraft Builders and Biomes – More Than Punching Trees https://www.theboardgamefamily.com/2020/12/minecraft-builders-and-biomes-game-review/ https://www.theboardgamefamily.com/2020/12/minecraft-builders-and-biomes-game-review/#respond Thu, 31 Dec 2020 04:59:32 +0000 https://www.theboardgamefamily.com/?p=34533 The Board Game Family

Back in early 2019, my four boys started asking me if we could get the hit game–Minecraft. I said "No" for a long time. Until after much research and finding out that you can play solo and in private servers, I finally relented and Minecraft entered our home.

Flash forward a year and a half and Minecraft has become a huge hit in our house, not only by my kids, but also by me!

Many hours have been spent creating worlds, adventuring to find treasure, and fighting the steady stream of monsters placed in our way.

When Ravensburger released the board game Minecraft Builders and Biomes, in late 2019 we were all very interested in how it would compare to its digital counterpart. I watch some play-throughs and sure enough, it looked like something we would enjoy very much. Once I got connected with The Board Game Family, I asked Trent to hook me up, and boy did he come through.

One of our favorite tile-laying games in the last few years has been Between Two Cities by Stonemaier Games.

So when Stonemaier Games published an expansion for Between Two Cities earlier this year, I immediately put it on my “must play” list.

Does Between Two Cities: Capitals live up to my high hopes? Let’s find out.

Last week we reviewed one of our favorite board games in the last couple years – Abyss.

Well, we’re staying in the depths a little longer because we got a copy of Abyss: Kraken from Miniature Market earlier this year and it’s time to review it!
