Nothing Personal - Boardgame Review

There exists in any art form something called the vanity project. This is a thing where the creators want more than just to create a brilliant piece of art, they want to create something just so they can say, ‘dammit, look at me, I made this thing.’ Board games don’t see this a lot, unless you count the fact that every crappy game that ever gets produced has the designer’s name on the box. But I have seen one spectacular example, and it’s what happens when the world’s most popular (and sleep-inducing) reviewer decides to make a board game.
