August 2, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Does this count as spoilers? I don’t know since the movie isn’t out yet… Call it speculation. I think a very likely ‘twist’ is that Superman features. Heck!

Atlas Games shows us how to play Lost in R’lyeh

August 1, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You might start to see this video in your local gaming store. Atlas Games have put together the short, but engaging, demo of their hit card game Lost in R’lyeh to help store owners sell the game. I think it’s a clever tactic. It’s a snackable video which presents the game as easy and fun. […]
