Yggdrasil Board Game
Here are a few features inside of this Yggdrasil review.
- For 1-6 players
- Takes a little over an hour to play
- Norse mythology theme
In Yggdrasil the players represent Gods of Scandinavian Mythology (Odin, Thor, Tyr, Frey, Freya and Heimdall) who fight against monsters (Loki, Fenrir, Surt, Hel, Niddhog and Jormungand) to avoid the Ragnarok (the end of the times).
In each turn, a God (player) can perform three actions in the Worlds of Yggdrasil. It may appeal to dwarf who forged weapons, seek the help of elves, send Valkyries seeking new souls of vikings who form the divine army, negotiate with caravans, fighting against the giants of ice weaken the gods but can also use the runes, fire giants manage the lands of Midgard, Asgard to fight directly against the enemy.
A fully cooperative game for 1-6 players set in Asgard. All the enemies of Asgard (Hel, Loki, Fenris, Surt, etc) are making their way to Odin’s Throne and it is up to the player-gods to stop them from reaching it.
Each player-good has a special ability and can do actions from different parts of Asgard.

90,000 B.C. — A great ice age is fast approaching. Another titanic struggle for global supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species.
Dominant Species is a game that abstractly recreates a tiny portion of ancient history: the ponderous encroachment of an ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth.
Each player will assume the role of one of six major animal classes — mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian, arachnid or insect.
Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won’t last: It is indeed “survival of the fittest.”
Through wily action pawn placement, players will strive to become dominant on as many different terrain tiles as possible in order to claim powerful card effects.
Players will also want to propagate their individual species in order to earn victory points for their particular animal.
Players will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others. All of this eventually leads to the end game — the final ascent of the ice age — where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have his animal crowned the Dominant Species.
But somebody better become dominant quickly, because it’s getting mighty cold….

Domaine Board Game
Here are a few features inside of this Domaine review.
- For 2-4 players
- Takes about an hour to play
- Family strategy board game
- Tons of replay value
Domaine is an intriguing new game of domain building by the creator of The Settlers of Catan.
The king shall return… But before he does, the realm falls into anarchy and chaos. The lords of the kingdom struggle to improve their place and standing.
New borders are drawn, and expanded through strength of arms and subtle maneuver. Each duke seeks to establish a claim over the most valuable parts of the kingdom before the king finally returns…
In the dark of the Middle Ages, control of the land was the key to wealth and power. Can you control enough territory to become the most prestigious duke before the kings return?
With the love for detail that has distinguished all of his designs, Klaus Teuber has created a game that is easy to learn, yet offers enough strategic depth to draw players back again and again.
Are you clever enough to control the land, marshal your wealth, and seize the power and prestige of your own Domaine? This family strategy board game is for 2-4 players, ages 12 and up. It takes about 60 minutes to play. Measures 15″L x 12.25″W x 15″H.
