Hi there! Sue here. I’m going to be hosting the Staff Blog for awhile. This month, we’re going to be looking at some miniatures, some miniature games, some board games, and a historical miniatures game. Our Staff were pretty busy this month and we have some games we’re pretty excited about. As always, we’ll share what worked, what didn’t work, what we liked, and what may need some improvement. First up, we have some miniature painting and games.

YYC Hive Narrative Campaign 2023/24 Basic Info.
The Set-Up
The new toys were painted and the urge to speed race through a distant dystopian future was too great not to heed. A new Necromunda campaign was about to start at the Sentry Box. If you have played in one of our Necro-leagues in the past you will notice a few changes (as always…) but new players should still be able to pick up the game and learn ‘properly’.

Fallon played her first game of Hero Realms with some family. “While it seems complicated at first with all the cards and symbols thrown my way it was actually pretty easy to pick up and play! Nonetheless I still lost while having fun with the odds stacked against me.”
