Spots Review
Spots has already become a favourite here at home. It’s quick to learn, packs in tons of variety, and it’s stupidly charming.

Arcs Review
Is Arcs the best game ever? No. Is it a chaotic, unbalanced mess? No, it’s not that either. Arcs is a superb game which comes with a few caveats to get the most from it.
Cat In The Box: Deluxe Edition Review
So far, so easy, you might think, and you’d be right. However, there are a couple of pretty big spanners you can throw into the mix, but your choice of spanners and when you want to toss them in depends on your ability to predict the future.
Cosmoctopus Review
Fans of lighter games, families dipping their toes in the waters of modern board games, and those of you who are part of a group that welcomes new members from time to time will take a lot from it
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.
Ultimate Voyage Preview
A big vision, and a really unusual setting and theme which feels exotic and fresh to me.
In The Footsteps Of Darwin Review
In the Footsteps of Darwin is a game which will have you cursing your fellow players. You’ll catch yourself muttering “I can’t believe you took my wombat!”, and no one will bat an eyelid.
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.
Deep Regrets Preview
It’s not just fish down there though, there are other things. Horrible things. Unspeakable things.
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.
