So when we heard USAopoly was publishing an expansion called The Monster Box of Monsters, we were anxious to give it a go.

Queendomino is a colorful tile-laying game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
While Queendomino isn’t an expansion to Kingdomino, both games can be joined together to create even larger kingdoms or play with more players. But that’s just an extra bonus.

Last week we reviewed one of our favorite board games in the last couple years – Abyss.

Abyss was published in 2014 by Bombyx and immediately got a lot a buzz in the board game realms. Some of the buzz was about the game play. But most of the buzz was about the evocative artwork.
