Windmill Valley Review

This is a great example of everything a modern Euro game should be. Clean design, clear rules, bright boards, and just the right amount of mental overhead.

Roll Player Review

A game about making a character for another game. Is that really a game? It turns out that yes, it most definitely is a game, and a fun game at that.

Luthier Preview

The blind bidding clack-clack-clack of the worker disc placement adds a rich, bright counterpoint to the by-the-books Euro format of collecting resources to fulfil goals. A toccata to its fugue, if you like.

Rats Of Wistar Review

The luck elements in the game might lead you to house rule it or straight up not enjoy it, but if you don't mind a bit of a gamble, Rats of Wistar is another great game from the Simone Luciani stable.

Tokkuri Taking Review

It's not Super Long Nose Goblin for the PC Engine, it's dinosaurs drinking sake in Tokkuri Taking, and it's a lot of fun.
