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.
Castles Of Burgundy: Special Edition Review
It's here now, I have my hands on a copy, and I have to admit that for the most part - I was wrong.
Feed & Breed Review
Feed & Breed is a super cute push-your-luck game about rabbits trying to collect food and avoid foxes, and it's a lot of fun.
Nucleum Review
When you're constantly being namechecked in the same sentence as BGG's number one game of all time, you're doing something right.
Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy Review
The spreading tendrils of your empires eventually intertwine, and that's where the interaction begins. The interaction is what drives Eclipse and makes it as much fun as it is.
Expeditions Review
Expeditions dons the garb of its predecessor and while it keeps the concept of point-to-point movement, this game throws deck-building into the mix
Molehill Meadows Preview
Molehill Meadows is super cute and a lot of fun. If you like flip-and-write games, you'll love it. It's as simple as that.
Wayfarers of the South Tigris Review
Wayfarers combines traditional worker-placement, dice-as-workers, and tableau-building and it does it brilliantly. Like, chef's kiss good.
