This really turned out to be a great book. I use it more frequently that I thought I would.
In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at the Skycoach from @Wizkids. The Skycoach is part of the D&D Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures line. The Skycoach is a staple for travel in the Eberron campaign setting or any setting where your gm allows flying ships. #dungeonsanddragons.
I have been using this for a few months now and I am loving the model.
I hope you enjoyed it. I think I will be picking up a few of these.

While At Gen Con 50, I had the chance to experience Hot Box Pizza, the makers of the Official Gen Con Pizza, and I have to let you know about it. When I first decided to try their pizza, I was in my hotel room and failed because I didn’t realize the pizza was only offered at the downtown location and on Georgia Street. So the next day I tried to get to the downtown location, but I just didn’t have enough time between interviews. On day three, I decided I would grab it on Georgia Street amidst the hustle and bustle of the food trucks.
Okay, Imagine this. You are a revolutionary in a dystopian future. The the government is run by a massive monopoly of corrupt corporations bent on using the population as an easy source of income to satisfy their corrupt and greedy desires. You have put together an elite team that you not only believe is capable of overthrowing said government, but have also earned your implicit trust. But… one day, the evening before the revolution is set to take place you learn that one or more of you is in fact an informant for the government! However could you have missed it? Who could it possibly be?
Or was it you all along…
This is the plot behind Indie Boards and Cards newest release One Night Revolution. A fifteen minute social deduction game for three to ten players which mixes the theme and ideals of The Resistance with the chaotic card swapping mechanics of One Night Ultimate Werewolf. If you have not played either of these games, I highly recommend you check them out. I will proceed with the game explanation assuming you have not played either of these, and review the game on it’s own merit. Though I will make references to those games near the end of the review during the opinion segment. If you already know how the game is played, feel absolutely free to skip to the opinion portion of this review.
Readers,
I suppose at the end of the day, tabletop board games are a form of entertainment. They allow us to exercise our minds. They make us smarter and more creative. They allow us to build cities and nations, participate in a revolution or explore the vastness of time and space. They even allow us to lie and cheat and win in grand moments of theater while your friends sit there in awe of your apparently new-found ability to bluff. It’s amazing what a few cards, some cardboard and a few plastic bits can achieve. That is what I love about games. The level of pure, unadulterated, personal interaction and immersion that is possible to achieve through games with relatively simple rules, beautiful artwork and clever mechanics is nowhere to be found in any other form of entertainment. So yes, at the end of the day, tabletop games are simply a form of entertainment, but I can not imagine a better form it could take.
I should introduce myself. My name is Andy and I am very excited to be part of Through Gamer Goggles as board game reviewer. I hope to do as much justice to gamer-goggles.com and the games that I review as I possibly can. I have a many obsessions in my life. This should allow me to effectively vent two of them; board games and writing. I truly hope you guys will enjoy my articles and if you do, you can look forward to hearing from me a lot more often in the future in both written and video form. Please look forward to my first review coming up very soon. The GenCon pre-release One Night Revolution by Indie Boards and Cards. Thanks guys, and go out there and play some games!

This is my Review of Linko. Linko is a card game, from Ravenburger Games, that just about anyone can play. It’s nominated for an Origins Award.
I didn’t know what to expect from this, but it’s one of those light games that you can easily find refreshing.
Abyss
$59.99
Internal unrest brews among the court of the Abyss. The warlike Crabs bring chaos against the wise mages of the Jellyfish while the merchant Shellfish wage trade wars against the insidious Squid politicians. Can you recruit the allies you need to master the lords of the Abyss? Venture to Abyss, where players must battle monsters, recruit allies, and sway the great lords of the deep. The right hand of ally cards will let you control the lords who will help you seize the kingdoms of the Abyss. Be careful of your foes, though, because treachery abounds in the lands under the sea!
Abyss is a game of development, combination and collection in which players try to take control of strategic locations in an underwater city. To achieve this, players must develop on three levels: first by collecting allies, then using them to recruit Lords of the Abyss, who will then grant access to different parts of the city. Players acquire cards through a draft of sorts, and the Lords of the Abyss acquired on those cards grant special powers to the cardholder but once you use the cards to acquire a location, that power is shut off, so players need to time their land grabs well in order to put themselves in the best position for when the game ends.
