top and back to brighton i didn t stop on my way out of the convention conclusion it s always nice seeing the evolution of a convention over the years i loved the use of space and while the jarringly weird connections between halls meant no suddenly realising you were at a different angle it was nice feeling like most of it was one gigantic hall the air conditioning was terrible one vendor said that she d lucked out by being under a vent and would refuse to leave her spot other people were theorising that they blasted the air conditioning in small doses occasionally to cool things down but they couldn t keep it on as it would break things i missed the wider walkways of dragonmeet and virtually danced across the expanses when there was a rare moment of space overcrowded game tables at the hilton as far as actual negatives some more seating would have been nice as a person with a terrible spine and reception was terrible the convention s stance or lack thereof on ai art is abysmal and it was good to see vendors taking it into their own hands and even sharing signs for their displays which said they didn t use ai stalls which didn t have this were under a bit of scrutiny from me however in the rpg field it tends to be 5e type materials which tend to use it and i avoid those already the wonderful black armada who are of course all human and making games i only played two rpgs and neither mentioned safety tools i hadn t met either gm before and felt in good hands with them but it s a good courtesy and not necessarily the case for everyone there to be able to trust them with people s time i still remember years ago having a game of a post apocalyptic rpg which really needed safety tools and talking to the gm afterwards even he needed safety tools there are better people who have posted videos about this and by the sounds of it they played more rpgs than i did in short it was good busy and still has some work to do which feels like its contingent on the logistics of the place air conditioning seating and culture from the higher ups safety tools ai stance next up from me are some of the interviews i did with creators so check that out soon the mandatory haul pic

marks spencer it had been a while since i ve played a licensed board game from a charity shop so when i saw a poldark board game from m s at the martlet s charity shop for 3 i had to give it a try of course it s a poldark board game from acclaimed board game publisher marks spencer so it took a while to get it to the table i took it to a mini con my friends and i have each year called cabincon but it still didn t get to the table until my partner and i were the only ones left then more to get rid of it from our luggage than anything else she agreed to play it with me i will warn you i have no idea what poldark s actually about i knew it was some kind of steamy period drama with aidan turner and eleanor tomlinson looking hot that s about it so part of my review will also be trying to figure out what poldark is without bothering to check imdb or wikipedia the components the fanciest of the components m s is generally seen as a fancy place in my family and this game rides that line between fancy and cheap there s a pretty solid looking board although the spaces reveal that yes this will be a roll move game at least the spaces aren t numbered so there ll be an element of choice there are a couple of pretty standard dice a few small decks of cards cardboard coins and overly large paper money those notes are the fanciest part of the components sullied only by me realising i didn t have a notepad on me and using three of them for my notes finally there are six pawns which are small photos of the three couples in the cast inserted into plastic standees these are the cheapest part and the only ones where you ll see any photos from the show the cast of poldark now in cardboard form the game plays for 2 6 players with 2 3 controlling a couple each and 4 6 controlling individual characters in a couple there was a moment where i thought it would be fun if the game had you rolling two dice and assigning one to each character apparently not you roll two dice and pick which result to apply to both partners then you move them drawing positive negative or horse cards when you land on those spots you have objectives which will get you money and you can buy shares you ve got to get as much money as you can and park your pieces in truro before the mutually decided upon time is up we picked 35 minutes as it was the shortest they suggested in the book emma took ross and demelza the main couple i took george and elizabeth who looked closer to some villain coded or at least a bit haughtier than the other couple i can t remember their names each couple started in their homes with an objective a horse and some money because we were picking one die for both characters the couples started off travelling together and took a little time before splitting off elizabeth hired a new servant and made five crowns my mission was to get one of the couple to bodmin thrilling i know emma asked me how long was left 24 minutes shares i bought some shares thrilling and ross invested in a mine wow was this what poldark was about we got into doing a lot of pre measuring which helped kill some time during play demelza got a loop of objective cards allowing her to bounce between locations in the south of the map one of ross tenants found a pitch for their market which gave him some money i realised i needed both george and elizabeth in bodmin something which took a while to get into place when i realised i d need both of them to have the right result to end up on the space i gave up and landed on an objective spot to replace my active one my characters were ships in the night passing by bodmin but destined never to arrive the board in action emma asked how long was left 15 minutes ross raced across the map with a horse and decided to get in on the shares action you spend a horse to move across blue hoof print paths on the map i assume riding the horse to death and then leaving it there in the ditch elizabeth bought some shares in copper again thrilling tales and i can see why a shirtless aiden turner was needed to sell this story there was a fire in a barn which cost some money luckily other cards meant the same farm was somehow also making money george sold a prize bull and ran around the bank unable to get in because of die rolls emma dropped a dice and i paused the timer telling her that there was no cheating and waiting down the clock trying to find a dice it didn t matter as emma managed to get both demelza and ross into truro in rapid succession she was done with the game i still had time on the clock to get my couple in george was near enough that he got into truro reducing me to 1d6 elizabeth picked up a christmas gift somehow gaining her money and overshot truro oh yes we needed exact numbers to get in i rolled again overshot again and again after overshooting four times i finally got into truro i finished with 61 and a half crowns emma finished at 73 the goal truro the quality was surprisingly okay for all but the player pawns which felt as low budget as other charity shop games i ve bought the play was boring and at times frustrating for the many decks of cards they all did the same things opportunities and traits would gain and lose you the same amounts of money objectives gave you the same money even if they required harder things from you horses and shares were all identical just with different names i m still not sure what poldark is about but i m pretty sure it s just hot people who are into property and business understandably we left the game behind in the cabincon rainy day cupboard if anyone finds it i apologise for stealing three pieces of paper money in order to write my notes for this review goodbye poldark hopefully i ll have some more terrible charity shop board games to review in the future if you ve got a lead on one please message me on bluesky where i m skyshark posted in board games tagged board game charity shop board game marks spencer poldark leave a comment final girl core set happy trails horror posted on may 28 2026 by fakedtales a solo board game by van ryder games this is from a while ago but i liked this photo of final girl series one s arrival reiko took a moment to get her breath back travelling too close to camp happy trails lake had been a gamble too exposed in the light of the full moon still the last time she saw hans he was stalking the north woods hopefully he would stay there as the couples in the camp had paired off during the nighttime treasure hunt reiko had been left alone she d been one of these kids before she knew to be there for them but to keep her distance let the kids be kids that meant she was the first to spot hans a giant of a man with a pig mask and a massive axe a butcher s apron fresh with recently spilled blood she had to get everyone to safety before it was too late the door to the storage shed broke open with ease there s got to be something here the couple she d guided across the lake stared at her dumbfounded hans was almost on them when reiko showed up helpless kids following reiko closely unable to provide help themselves ah ha reiko said dropping her knife when she saw the perfect replacement an axe at the far end of the shed it had a good weight to it she could see why hans favoured the weapon finally things are looking up reiko immediately regretted saying that she sniffed the air fire she pushed her way past the campers and saw the dock was ablaze the old wood went up far too quickly and walking through the smoke a giant silhouette dead eyes reflected the blaze through the holes in the pig mask hans was back the game an earlier game of happy trails horror in the middle of the action a spiritual sequel to hostage negotiator final girl is a horror themed solo board game where you play a titular final girl as they flee a monster rescue victims and then turn the fight back against the monsters if you re lucky you might even survive the more victims you rescue the better you get until you unlock an ultimate form as a dark mirror the more victims the monster kills the tougher they get they unlock randomised dark powers as they go too you select a final girl a killer and a location from your collection all of these elements can be mixed but i ll get into that later the simplest thing to do is to just select one box combining all of these elements and use that once you ve got your selection you get a randomised setup and event to kick things off then your good to go this way even playing the same combination has some new surprises player turns involve you playing cards from your hand and rolling dice to see what result you get each card has results for one two or no successes which are 5 6 on a six sided die on a 3 4 you can discard cards to upgrade to a success and 1 2 you re screwed this makes things tricky especially as you ll start at just two dice as you play cards for actions you draft new ones to craft your next turn hopefully defusing things as you go the starting hand is all pretty basic but essential as the hand cycles you ll be praying for their swift return focus can lessen the horror level of the monster eventually giving you more dice and getting further away from the dreaded one die zone short rest heals you and weak attack allows a small amount of damage both of these cards also make good early game ammunition to discard on a 3 or 4 result then there s walk which is the one which makes the game feel like a tricky sell yes you have to play a card and roll dice to walk it makes sense in the game and you ll always be able to move at least one space even if you end up winded like many of these actions these are going to cost you time which is also the currency you use to buy better cards the tableau of better cards do things like turn 3 4 into a success heal you for a lot sprint search for items and cause a lot of damage admittedly at more of a risk to yourself there are also rerolls and defensive reaction cards to help block enemies on your turn you ll play these cards and perform these actions to round up and escort victims off the map and also to gear up against the killer once you re done playing actions or sometimes when a card abruptly ends the phase you ll use what time you ve got left to buy new cards then the killer takes their turn they perform an action on their board which normally sees them walk towards a victim or the girl whichever s nearest and stabbing them then a terror card is played from a deck mixed up between killer and location based challenges they could do things like cause a fire to break out at a random location panic the victims into random directions send the killer on a spree or put a new event into play whenever a victim dies the killer s bloodlust track goes up which will often increase their damage and speed it ll also unlock a new ability at a certain point and if the terror deck runs out they reach their final form these are randomised and always awful the flow of the game tends to go lowering the threat level shooing victims off the map gearing up and fighting the killer of course there are too many random factors to make this an easy or consistent job sometimes your only path to success forces you to abandon victims spend all your nice items or take some lumps and hope you roll well a couple of other things to know are the little cards events change things up or upgrade victims to special roles examples are the boyfriend and girlfriend cards in camp happy trails or a passing police car in the suburbia map although that bastard rolled by and ignored the killer items will help with damage healing and do fun things you could distract the killer with a firework show or drop a banana skin for them to slip on this is all well and good but where the game really shines are the scenarios combining a killer and location all of the cards aside from actions come from these scenarios and provide enough variation to make things different all but the first scenario have changes to rules which make them different experiences you might have a location which shifts constantly a suburb full of distrusting neighbours or an old spaceship the same with the killers they could have a weird dream puzzle to get past be a bunch of birds or be a psychic ghost who can t even be physically harmed as a system while i ve been frustrated at times with the die rolls i ve grown to get good enough that i ve succeeded about two thirds of...
