Blood of the Northmen Review
The aim of the game is to either grow your clan large enough to form the nation of Bjarmia (I googled it, it was a real thing), or kick enough ass to win through sheer dominance.

Santa Monica Review
Santa Monica is a game where you’re trying to develop a neighbourhood in South California, and trying to choose the features which will score you the most points.
Scythe Review
Scythe is Stonemaier Games’ Euro-in-mechs-clothing game from 2016. It’s a game that’s been riding high in the BGG charts since its release, so it’s about time I gave it a proper review.
Mazescape Labyrinthos Review
Daedalus built the famous Labyrinth, used to imprison the Minotaur. Mazescape Labyrinthos drops you into a maze more devious than anything the Minotaur faced.

Cooper Island Review
Cooper Island is an unusual Euro game that marries worker-placement and tile-placement, along with a bit of resource management.Each player is developing their own peninsula of the oddly-shaped island, and resources are in short supply.
Black Sonata Review
Black Sonata puts you in London in the early 1600s, tracking down Shakespeare’s elusive temptress and trying to determine her true identity.
Pilfering Pandas Preview
Holy alliteration Batman, it’s a Pilfering Pandas preview! It’s the third game from the husband and wife publishing duo, Wren Games, and it’s on Kickstarter as I type these very words.
The Quacks of Quedlinburg + The Alchemists Review
I’ve got to start this review with a bit of a bombshell. Quacks of Quedlinburg (which I’ll shorten to Quacks for the rest of the review) has NOTHING to do with ducks.
Cosmic Voyage Preview
Cosmic Voyage is a co-operative game in the same style as the Forbidden series, where you’ll need to work together to overcome the hazards thrown your way and make it safely home.
