Galactic Cruise Review
Galactic Cruise is a Joy. It'll be a tough act for Kinson Key to follow, and I really hope they manage to. Stellar stuff.

Hoplomachus: Remastered & Pandora’s Wake Expansion Review
Everything about it feels refined, and by boiling it down with the new graphic design Chip Theory have extracted the essence of what makes a good skirmish game.
Puzzle Post – The Disappearance
The acid test for me when it comes to these games where you want to feel immersion in a mystery is how realistic the things included seem. The Disappearance nails it.
Finspan Review
Whether you're sick of -span games or not, Finspan is here, and you know what? It's good.
Rebirth Review
Three years ago I wrote a post about whether Reiner Knizia could stay relevant as a modern designe. I should have known better than to doubt him.
Spectral Review
Ryan Courtney has put together a cracking deduction game which, despite only taking half an hour to play, delivers a fully-fledged brain-burning experience
Kronologic: Paris 1920 Review
The designers have built the game on the back of a cool card masking gimmick, helping it deliver a cracking deduction game in half an hour. Think Clue meets The Search for Planet X and you're getting somewhere close.
Inventions: Evolution of Ideas Review
Inventions is a great game. It's a very expensive game, so make sure it's one that will fit with your group, but if does, you'll love it. It's an ever-changing puzzle which your brain will simultaneously love and hate while you try to solve it.
El Grande Review
I've loved El Grande from the first time I played it. It's a classic for a reason, and this reprint just makes it better in my opinion.
Courtisans Review
What's on the menu? Hors d'oeuvres of influence & backstabbing, followed by a main course of skullduggery and shenanigans.
