First off, happy new year! A new year, new website. In 2020 Games Up will continue with a new name and website: Next Level Board Gaming – nextlevelboardgaming.com. In the past months, we’ve been working hard to create a new webshop to provide you with a smoother shopping experience than ever before. Take a look […]
Back in September 2018, we traveled from The Netherlands to Poland to visit Awaken Realms and show off our playable 3D game board for Lords of Hellas. After playing on the board, AR founder Marcin Świerkot had planted a little seed in our heads. “A 3D board like this would be great for a game like Nemesis“, […]
First of all, I got to give some props to Awaken Realms, for making a box insert that will suit the needs of most people. Great insert, but as you might know, we are all about that quick setup time, and we think we slightly improved in that area with Nicks Quickplay box insert. […]
We love big games packed with strategy and beautiful content, but sometimes we just don’t have the time for it. When we pick lighter games we often see that setup time is a deciding factor in the decision making. Warhammer Underworlds (Nightvault) is one of those games we can get to the table quickly now, […]
As our game collection grows, and the time we have to play all those games reduces, setup time becomes an important issue to us. In most cases we prefer to play a game that’s easy to setup over a game that has lots of setup time. For this reason Nick created Quickplay box inserts to […]
Last year Nemesis by Awaken Realms was one of the biggest Kickstarters ever seen with over 30 000 backers. Of course, this had to be a good game, and we think it’s amongst the best. It’s very cinematic and as a player, you are really on the edge of panic when an alien shows up, […]
The first month of 2019 has almost passed, and we just can’t believe how many awesome games came out in 2018. It has been an awesome year for board games and it raises the bar for the coming years when it comes to new games and reprints of good old classics. Talking about those good […]
Difficulty: 1/5Time: 30 minutes per unit of 12 pieces So when A Song of Ice & Fire came in we got so excited to see all that plastic, quickly followed by the question: How are we going to get all of that painted without taking a decade. We decided working in phases would be best […]
The game Blood Rage by CMON has been one of our favorite board games for a while now. That’s why we thought it was time to create a 3D board in honor of this awesome game. The best part? We documented all the steps we took on video to show you how to build a […]
It has been a busy week and I was looking for an easy model to paint. When I opened up the Guild Ball: Kick off box my eye stopped at a character called Brick. As he is very bulky and his stance is fairly simple making him the perfect pick, on top of that the […]
