Ingenious single player travel edition review
What does this a classic Reiner Knizia puzzle-y game bring to the table?
Moonrollers review
If you love Moonrakers but want that same kind of experience in both a smaller box and timeframe then I very much think Moonrollers is for you.
Ferris Wheel Rush review
I love when a board game gives me a little piece of history. Ferris Wheel Rush is set in 1893, and after my first play, I went down a completely unnecessary rabbit hole. I can now tell you way too much about the World's Columbian Exposition...
L’appel de Cthulhu: Innsmouth
Cet ouvrage est comme une gifle humide et salée, une merveille illustrant ce qu’il est possible de réaliser aujourd’hui dans ce secteur, un chef-d’œuvre d’art et d’histoires énigmatiques qui vous laissera bouleversé et consterné par la terrible corruption qui pèse sur cet endroit autrefois prospère.
Wildscape preview
Wildscape recently built up the following by being the number one game on the BGG Hotness page - let's see what all the hype is about!
EXIT: Family - 2 Escape Adventures review
EXIT: Family does exactly what it sets out to do: bridge the gap between the challenge of the classic EXIT series and the simplicity of EXIT: Kids. The two linked mysteries give the box a sense of narrative continuity that makes solving both adventures feel worthwhile, rather than like two disconnected puzzle packs slapped together.
Shards of Creation review
Shards of Creation is a trick-taking game based on Brandon Sanderson’s interconnected fantasy literary universe known as the Cosmere. This is the third traditional board game from Brotherwise Games in collaboration with Sanderson, after 2020’s Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive and 2024’s Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game.
Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor review
Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor is a standalone sequel to the original Forest Shuffle using animals and plants that could be found in environments like Dartmoor (though, reading this article, I get the impression that the real Dartmoor is less biodiverse than it used to be)...
Forest Shuffle - Smoky Mountains review
The third installment of the Forest Shuffle franchise feels like a return to form for a series that shot out of the blocks both for the gaming community and commercially, taking the hobby to potential new audiences who then might become gamers and become more like me - now, who wouldn’t want that!...
Carnuta second opinion
In Carnuta, players act as druids attending an annual ritual where they will be competing to brew the best potions by collecting ingredient cards, purchased using Sun and Moon runes. At the end of the game, the Druid who has collected the best sets of ingredients wins and becomes druid of the year.
Cyclades second opinion
Ah, the magnificent Cyclades islands, shimmering above the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, offering adventurous romantics stunning beaches, breathtaking vistas, and a haven from the harsh realities of the world beyond, and also the perfect setting for Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc’s colourful opus ‘Cyclades: Legendary Edition (LE).’ Let’s get into it...
Warhammer 40,000 11th Edition review
Not only do they make the battlefield look more interesting, but they have multiple functional purposes. They block line of sight. And I mean they really block line of sight. Much more than random bits of terrain did before. You can easily use terrain lines of fire to your advantage now, for both attack and defence...
