Let's talk about Artifact. The card-based battler was shown off to the public for the first time last weekend at PAX West, and I got to go hands-on with it during the show and speak with a couple of the game's developers. It's significant m...

Over the course of the last eight months I've become engrossed in the world of Fantasy Flight Games' Lord of the Rings LCG, despite the fact that it was released all the way back in 2011. For those of you who aren't familiar with the c...

"I played Magic in the '90s and am just now getting back into it" is a phrase I've heard a lot as I've flocked back to my local hobby stores to re-embrace the game. Flash back to elementary school. One year at a local summer camp hosted by ...
