That’s one of the greatest feats any filmmaker can achieve, and that’s no truer than in outer space. It takes a deft hand and a keen mind to craft space battle sequences that aren’t just far from cheesy but engaging in a way that leaves us hanging off the edges of our seat and ignoring the impossibility of space battles....

In that moment of pure, unbridled hatred, you may be tempted to flip the board—and even claim that the game was rigged—before storming out of the room, leaving behind a scene straight out of Apocalypse Now. The rage that comes with certain board games—most often older ones—should be written into a warning label slapped on the box. And moments like this got us thinking: which board games are the most frustrating?...
