Last Night on Earth: The Zombie Game My personal favorite zombie themed game!

This game is one giant love note to all the B-movie zombie films from the 80's and 90's. Thematically and rules wise its one of the best games I've ever played much less zombie game (and I've played about all of them. Its fun to play, it plays fast, its fast and easy to learn, and its easy to play.
While it plays up to 6 players, I consider 5 to be the sweet spot as that makes for one zombie player and 4 other each playing a hero. The heroes characters are all the stereotypes you could ask for in a B-movie film, and the zombies are as gross and undead as can be. Even the scenario cards are made to feel like a horror movie. LOVE THIS GAME!
Its worth noting that like all other Flying Frog Games, this game comes with a soundtrack full of 80's styled synthesized music, zombie moans and sound effects. It exactly as awful and as glorious it sounds.

Dark Gothic A solid deck builder based on the "A Touch of Evil" board game

I gave this game a 4 out of 5 due to its "standard" complexity. As is its a good solid card game and the addition of using a die at times makes this card drafter interesting. However, if you play this with the new "Colonial Horror" expansion added in it's easily a 4.5 or a 5!

Touch of Evil: The Supernatural Game One of my absolute favorites board games!

I am a huge fan of anything that comes from Flying Frog Productions, and "A Touch of Evil" is my favorite of the FFP lot!

The thematic feel, the mystery, the colonial era horror story angle, the attention to detail in the miniatures and artwork and wording, the use of real photography... all of it sings to me!

The easiest way to describe the game play would be to call it "Arkham Horror Lite"; it's got depth, but it doesn't bog down the game play or take near as much time to play as a game of Arkham Horror does.

Mix all these game elements with such a great vibe and setting in a witch's brew and you've got pure board game magic... with just a touch of evil to round it out.

Firefly: Out to the Black A must-try for any Browncoat

This was fun! With only three players, the game becomes considerably easier, in my opinion, since each person gets to choose from 2 characters for each job (round). I would really like to try this game out with 4 or 5 people. There's a certain order that things should happen for each job, and once you get those down, the game goes a lot quicker. It's nice to play a cooperative game every once awhile (also I'm a sore loser sooo)

Interestingly, the rule book is written from Jayne Cobb's perspective. It's pretty entertaining.

Road to Canterbury Cool concept, but

This game is a bit complicated. There are lots of pieces / different kinds of cards. Things happen fast enough that it's a little difficult to form a strategy. Before you know it, someone is dead, and halfway through the game you know that there's no way that you can catch up. For the first few plays, I think luck dictates what goes on. Once the motions feel more natural, maybe it's easier to strategize? I dunno. Kudos for the concept.
