New Life for Nertunner Android Netrunner has been falling by the wayside for me due to my mostly bad experiences at worlds last year playing the game. At the time, the game was in a spot where only a few decks were competitive. I will stop the train right here […]
When Worlds Collide Arkham Horror The Card Game was released last week. This new Lovecraftian LCG from Fantasy Flight Games sets out to combine the best parts of an RPG and LCG into one glorious package. It is set in FFG’s Arkham Files universe and it is really exciting! The […]
FFG World Championship 2016 Wrap-Up I have been playing LCG’s for about two years now and I made the decision earlier this year to go to The International World Championship hosted by Fantasy Flight Games at their Game Center in Roseville, MN. This was the first time I have gone to […]
