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.

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.

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.

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.
Horseless Carriage Review
If you think games like Isle of Cats, A Feast For Odin, or even Barenpark are tricky tile-placement puzzles, then you ain’t seen nothing yet. Horseless Carriage is a harsh, unforgiving mistress.
Voidfall Review
There’s a lot of work involved in learning, setting up, and ultimately playing the game, but it’s worth it. Voidfall delivers on its lofty promises and goes beyond them.
