Sallowlands is the latest mini-series by Critical Role, inviting new and old faces to the table to step into the grueling world of Daggerheart's Age of Umbra. An unlikely group bands together to risk traversing the desert in search of a mysterious city. With a star-studded cast, new mechanics from Daggerheart Hope & Fear, and Matthew Mercer back at the helm, how does Sallowlands stick the landing?

Daggerheart has been out for a little bit over a year. We've seen it launch with plenty of home game and VTT support, and plenty of chances to catch Actual Plays on your screens at home or on stages across the world. In just under a month, players will be able to get their hands on Hope & Fear, the first major expansion to Daggerheart, bringing with it new classes, ancestries, gameplay mechanics, Campaign Frames and more.

It's so uncommon to have a Board Game where your skill in reading and comprehending cards, or crafting a predictable strategy, isn't important, but instead a physical skill is required. I played Sonic Knock from Kess Entertainment, mixing pogs with Sonic power-ups and characters; this game will have you flicking your puck across a board to be the first to escape.
