First play of Burning Banners from compassgames here at BuckeyeGameFest 4- players and there is lots to like here. Beautiful production. Fantastic components. Unique factions. This is a wargame with hexes and combat but set in fantasy/sword and sorcery. Good times!

At the end of Turn 4, Papacy claims victory with 26VP after destroying Bullinger and burning him at the stake. What a game! I’ve never won Here I Stand until now. Here I Stand from GMT Games is one of the greatest experiential wargames I’ve ever played. Always a blast!

The Kraken is no more as our brave heroes, who hauled the flagpole from the fort and rowed a canoe to ram the beast, skewers his eye and the protruding lightning rod attracts a huge fiery bolt that connects and blows the evil to pieces! Nations & Cannons from Flagbearer Games 🪶
