Star Fleet Battles is alive and kicking!
I hadn’t realized that this fun space combat game from my youth set in the Star Trek universe, is still out there. In fact, you can still buy a new set and start battling right now.
Being involved in every aspect of putting together what folks see and hear on The Gaming Gang it’s not difficult to realize that Elliott, James,
It is inevitable that the soon to be released Mansions of Madness from Fantasy Flight Games will be compared to the recently released new edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill from Wizards of the Coast. I had the unique opportunity to play both of these games for the first time on the same day.
