The Last Spell is een strategisch spel waarin spelers gezamenlijk proberen een belegerde stad te verdedigen tegen steeds terugkerende vijandelijke golven. Het spel combineert elementen van positionering, resourcebeheer en het zorgvuldig inzetten van acties, waarbij de nadruk ligt op het overleven van meerdere rondes in plaats van het behalen van snelle winst.

De opzet van het spel draait om een centrale locatie – meestal een stad of versterkte positie – die beschermd moet worden. Spelers besturen een groep helden met verschillende vaardigheden en mogelijkheden. Deze helden worden ingezet om vijanden te bestrijden, verdedigingen op te bouwen en de situatie onder controle te houden. Elke ronde bestaat grofweg uit een voorbereidingsfase en een confrontatiefase, waarin de vijanden dichterbij komen of daadwerkelijk aanvallen.

Wat The Last Spell interessant maakt, is de manier waarop druk wordt opgebouwd. In het begin van het spel lijken de uitdagingen nog beheersbaar, maar naarmate de rondes vorderen, worden de aanvallen intensiever en complexer. Spelers moeten daardoor vooruitdenken en hun middelen zorgvuldig inzetten. Een verkeerde beslissing kan later grote gevolgen hebben, omdat het moeilijk is om verloren terrein terug te winnen.

De beschikbare acties zijn beperkt, wat betekent dat spelers voortdurend keuzes moeten maken. Ga je een held inzetten om vijanden direct aan te vallen, of gebruik je diezelfde actie om verdedigingswerken te versterken? Investeer je in korte termijn veiligheid, of probeer je een positie op te bouwen die later voordeel oplevert? Dit soort afwegingen vormen de kern van het spel.

Een ander belangrijk element is de samenwerking tussen spelers. Omdat het spel vaak coöperatief wordt gespeeld, moeten spelers hun plannen op elkaar afstemmen. Het verdelen van taken en het combineren van vaardigheden kan het verschil maken tussen overleven en overweldigd worden. Tegelijkertijd blijft er ruimte voor individuele keuzes, wat het spel dynamisch houdt.

Het fantasythema ondersteunt het geheel zonder de overhand te nemen. Vijanden en helden zijn duidelijk herkenbaar in hun rol, maar het spel richt zich vooral op de mechaniek van verdedigen en plannen. Daardoor blijft het toegankelijk voor spelers die minder geïnteresseerd zijn in uitgebreide achtergrondverhalen.

De speelduur kan variëren, maar ligt meestal tussen de 60 en 120 minuten, afhankelijk van het aantal spelers en de gekozen moeilijkheidsgraad. De regels zijn overzichtelijk genoeg om te leren, maar het spel biedt voldoende diepgang om meerdere sessies interessant te blijven.

The Last Spell is daarmee een spel dat draait om volhouden en aanpassen. Het vraagt om samenwerking, planning en het vermogen om onder druk beslissingen te nemen. Voor spelers die houden van coöperatieve strategie en een geleidelijke opbouw van spanning, biedt het een ervaring waarin elke ronde merkbaar zwaarder weegt dan de vorige.

Delightful spooky middle grade
Format: Hardcover
I was thrilled to learn that Ash Van Otterloo was releasing a second spooky middle grade set in Howler's Hollow. Instead of the zombies we find in Cattywampus, this book stars a girl who can release memories and, it turns out, ghosts from objects. She needs to figure out what the ghosts are trying to tell her before it's too late.

Good middle-grade fantasy/mystery
Format: Kindle
The they/them pronouns made for difficult reading at times but the strength of the family a friendship dynamics more than made up for that. An adult reader may see some of the ‘surprises’ coming but typical middle grade readers probably wouldn’t be able to read between the lines well enough to spoil the surprise twists.

A book with so much heart
Format: Kindle
An absolutely delightful story with the perfect amount of spookiness. Light-hearted but also deep in its exploration of the ways we push down our own souls because of what we think others need.

Spooky Middle Grade Book
Format: Hardcover
I cannot explain how excited I was to hear that Ash Van Otterloo was putting out another book. I was a big fan of Cattywampus and was very excited once I read the summary of this book. I requested and was granted an ARC copy of this book by Scholastic in exchange for a fair and honest review. I don’t think I have the exact words to express how much I adore this book. I’ve only recently discovered that as an adult I can actually enjoy middle grade books and this book has probably become one of my new all-time favorite books ever. One of the biggest things that I adored about this book is the characters. Tennie is an absolute sweetheart who is way to willing to give up and hide pieces of herself for the sake of keeping the peace. It’s sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. I also love towards the end when she gets some fire in her. Fox was also quite a character. They’re kind of a bit much at times, but they’re also aware of their faults. They know that they can forget things and that they might annoy their friends, but they also try to soothe things over. I honestly really liked them, and it was really nice to see a character using they/them pronouns so casually. The two characters had a really nice dynamic with each other. They grew close quickly, the way kids do, and delved into a ghost hunting adventure. It was honestly really cute and heartwarming to watch them grow closer. This also felt really good because of Tennie and her desire to always be the peacekeeper. She even considered being friends with Fox and exploring the forest together as her being “selfish”. I just really loved it and their interactions made me so happy. It wasn’t always great, but it just gave me so much joy and I was constantly smiling. I did not expect to love the atmosphere that was created in this book. It was sufficiently spooky without being necessarily scary. It worked really well in the town of Howler’s Hollow. Howler’s Hollow is a town in the rural south, somewhere that’s not always popular with the LGBTQ+ community. The thing is, I don’t know if this book would have worked as well in other locations. It’s one of those towns where everyone seems to know everyone. It appears to be relatively close-knit, even if the people don’t always get on, and it has a great forest. The forest allows the atmosphere to be appropriately creepy while the people in the town add a source of information for Tennie and Fox. It was also built up very well and created an atmosphere that led to a great payoff at the end. I cannot fully encapsulate everything that I love about this book, but I will recommend it to everyone who asks. This book is fun and whimsical with a dark edge and serious topics that need to be explored. It might hurt at times when things are discussed, but it has a happy ending.

Magic, Mayhem, Ghosts and First Love!
Format: Hardcover
This book has it all: amazing Halloween feels, magic gone awry, ghosts wreaking havoc, family secrets, and even a delightful first crush! As a middle child, Tennie thinks it's her job to keep her big, rambunctious family in order, but she could really use a break. So she's thrilled when she gets the chance to stay with her grandma, away from all the family chaos, but that changes when she accidentally unleashes a whole host of restless spirits. And what's more, those spirits have something to tell her about grandma's mysterious new boyfriend, a secret that might upend everything she knows about her family and their beloved mountain home. This book is teeming with beautiful odes to nature and delightfully folksy language that draws readers into the cozy, bucolic Appalachian setting. The friendship and budding romance between Tennie and Fox shines off the page, and readers will experience all of the tingles, speed bumps and awkwardness of a first crush. Van Otterloo weaves a poignant tale about families going through tough times but ultimately finding hope and strength in each other, and, of course, it's all suffused with a delightful dose of oh-so-cozy magic. Layered alongside the family tale is an important storyline about protecting nature and valuing the "small" lives of country folk, which we can see by the end of the story are anything but small.
