OgreCave review: Brothers

MAID RPG, Tokyo Brain Pop, and why GTE couldn’t just fix their network
First, a public apology. A few years ago, Andy Kitkowski, publisher of Tenra Bansho Zero and co-publisher of MAID RPG, sent us a review copy of MAID and was very flattering in a note he attached to it. We’ve felt for a while that we let him down by not
OgreCave review: Little Wizards
A fun, gentle game to ease young players into the roleplaying hobby can be useful from time to time. While luring in new, young gamers is not a unique goal, each attempt to create a kid-friendly introduction to RPGs serves to inform those that follow, helping to build better game
OgreCave review: Pathfinder Adventure Card Game
Sometimes the whole roleplaying group just can’t meet up, but you still need some roleplaying time.

OgreCave review: Cthulhu Gloom
‘Tis Halloween, and while we’ve been dealing with Real Life TM issues a lot lately, the Cave dwellers don’t want to leave you in the dark… at least, not without something creepy to stalk you. So today we offer Demian’s review of Atlas Games’ Cthulhu Gloom. Is it better than
OgreCave reviews: ScrumBrawl, D&D Shadow Plague
To welcome you back from the long weekend, we’ve posted two new reviews today. First, Dennis has taken a look at a new take on “fantasy sports” in the form of VicTim Games’ ScrumBrawl. This fast-paced arena sport board game pits fantasy beasts against each other in such a deadly

A pair of new reviews are up today. Troop movements for the Summoner Wars game continue, and Lee is back to provide military intelligence in his review of the wargame’s Cloaks and Jungle Elves Reinforcement Packs. Then Demian gives us a look at a simple-yet-engaging game of mathematic puzzling, Tom
OgreCave review: Nightfall
As a student of deck building games, Lee felt it was his sworn duty to examine Nightfall by AEG. Though the card game’s dark world of vampires and werewolves has plenty to explore, Lee’s review focuses mainly on the basic question of “How well does the game work?” Draft yourself
