Win or Die ▸ Shelfside Plays @Shelfside

Uploaded February 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

We face off in Win or Die, which is battle chess to defeat the other asymmetric army! With hidden movement to hide hidden leaders, players must utilize their armies carefully to win. In this Whales Entertainment tabletop game, you can calculate line of sight with catapults or hold areas to get secret gemstones to progress. There can be kind of a sudden death movement to reduce your opponent’s morale a lot. Who will win with all the dice rolling, like an Ameritrash game?

$Reviewing 10 Board Game Bags Board game bags come in all shapes and sizes, and were here to review 10! This review montage ranges from the cheapest bag we could find, to the biggest backpack ever! We cover famous brands like allplay (boardgamestables.com) and then random amazon brands. A popular rectangular size lets you put Ticket to Ride/Dominion sized games across easily. Even Gator cases, which makes musicians gear, has a supposed board game bag! What makes a board game bag actually good, and how comfortable does it have to be? Does holding a lot of weight for all of your chits/cards make sense for TTRPGs? Can it fit big games like Twilight Imperium 4 and eclipse 2nd edition at the same time?

What does heaviness even mean? We dive into the community ratings of weight on boardgamegeek, where people vote between 1-5 on how they think this tabletop game makes them feel in terms of complexity and rules. From John Company 2nd edition to even Candyland, we go through what a heavy game feels like to play, and some weirdness with voting. Maybe Geekscore voting systems can be implemented, like a Bayesian average? We even go through the BGG top 100 and see which games we think are accurately rated! What are ways to improve this for all games (including party games and war games) to help out veterans and newcomers?
