11 years ago, I reviewed a fun little battling game called Pixel Tactics. With some great retro inspired graphics, Pixel Tactics went on to have a pretty great run with multiple expansions and even a Mega Man retheme. Fast forward to today, and publisher Level 99 Games has breathed some new life into this game with their launch of Super Pixel Tactics on Gamefound. Boasting not only updated art and graphic design, but also a storage system and even solo play.

Game publisher Corvus Belli is mostly known for their cool looking minis and variety of skirmish games. Infinity and Warcrow are their two big names, depending on if you are into sci-fi or fantasy. But this year saw them delve into the dungeon crawler genre with Warcrow Adventures. It takes players to the world of Warcrow, but gives them a cooperative campaign-based dungeon crawler.

As any faithful BGQ reader probably knows, I’ve got a love affair with dexterity games. You make a game with flicking, stacking, tossing, or any other hand-eye coordination element, and I’ll give it a go. If it’s fun, I’ll probably be glued to it for most of the night. So when the Carrom Company asked I we wanted to check out their Carrom board, the answer was obviously a resounding yes. However, their board is much more than just a board to play Carrom on.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 8 years since I first played and reviewed Colt Express. This decade-old game of action programming a train heist has been delighting gamers with its 3D train and chaotic gameplay for over a decade. But recently, there has been a quality of life upgrade for this rootin’ tootin’ game. The Colt Express Big Box is a re-release of Colt Express, complete with a new character and 2 expansions. Is this a worthy upgrade to your age-worn copy?

When it comes to game designers, you’d be hard pressed to find one with a bigger catalog of games than Dr. Reiner Knizia. I think his offering eclipses 700 games by now, with many award-winning titles in that group. While most of his games are not going to be thematic experiences, they are usually filled with clever and balanced mechanics. It’s with that in mind that we are going to take a look at Penguin Party.

A couple of weeks ago we announced our nominees for our 12th Annual Board Game Awards. As always, it was rough even choosing which games to nominate. Since then, we’ve put our heads together, tested the games, and come up with a consensus. Today, we are excited to announce the winners of our 2024 Board Game Awards. As usual, the voting was difficult, and some categories were extremely tight. But our editorial staff (with input from our readers) have made their selections.
