Ever since the glory days of HeroQuest I’ve always been interested in boardgames that can be played out as a campaign. That is, you play as the same character over the course of several games, getting new gear/powers to help you overcome evil. The truth is that even back in the time before work, responsibilities, and internet cat videos I RARELY managed to successfully finish a campaign.

So I’ve taken a cursory glance at all of the announced titles that are expected to come out in 2017 and whipped up a Top Ten. These are the games that make me lose sleep at night because I’m obsessing about them like some love struck teenager. That gentle cooing and deep sighing you hear is me looking lovingly at a Polaroid of the game in the number one spot. You creeped out? Wanna turn back? Too late, OFF WE GO!

I'm done writing boardgame reviews. I know people like hearing about the latest games, but it was never really what I set out to achieve here at the Fort. My initial vision was to write articles about various different boardgaming topics...and occasionally review something random/obscure that wasn't getting proper exposure. So I'd like to get back to that, and this article is my first step towards that original direction. Basically, I'm going to go over where I'm at as a person roughly 12 years into this hobby.

Whether it’s for a social gathering with copious amounts booze, or a low key game night, I love to play host and let people have a good time. My specialty is hosting horror movie nights.

Welcome back to a very special installment of the F:AT Snack Attack. In previous articles we’ve looked at Kettle Corn and the world’s tastiest corn taquito chip. This time I’m going to be covering something very near and dear to my heart. Something that I’m sure many of you are all familiar with. Yup, it’s the tasty green concoction which looks like Re-animator serum. It’s Hi C’s Ecto Cooler!

Like any horror franchise worth its salt, Zombicide is back with another installment. Just like most horror sequels this one has a twist! Wizards and Warriors are the new flavor du jour. Chainsaws have become broadswords and uzis are now crossbows. So besides a stylistic face-lift does this new version improve upon the game in any meaningful way?

Sometimes I let my inner Brett Michaels get the best of me. When it comes to boardgame themes and settings I need a chance just to get away. I gotta get a break from the same old, same old. So in my never ending quest, looking for nothing but a good time, I tend to search every nook and cranny for weird games. Make no mistake, The Bloody Inn is WEIRD.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked yourself the really tough questions? What does it all mean? Why are we here? Do I need a game about chickens eating BBQ worms?
