Battalion: War Of The Ancients Review
Battalion is a game which masquerades as a wargame, has all the theme and trappings of a war game, but plays more like an asymmetric dueling card game.

The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth Review
You can keep your Marvel and Cthulhu cash-ins, it does nothing for me. Yet here I am singing the praises of a game I love that’s wearing Tolkien’s fantasy garb.
Lacuna Review
It’s a beautiful two-player game that takes less than ten minutes to play and is so simple you wonder why you haven’t played it before, while simultaneously making you wish you had.
Looot Review
Looot does a lot of things well. It combines two separate geometric puzzles – one shared, one personal – and asks you to figure out the best way to take advantage of the opportunities on each.
Sakana Stack Preview
Sakana Stack is quick, easy, gorgeous to look at, and a lot of fun. It’ll join the likes of Scout and Tokkuri Taking in my convention bag for some time to come.
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.
Wilmot’s Warehouse Review
It’s unadulterated creative stupidity, and I love every second. You’ll utter sentences never before given breath to, and never to be repeated before the inevitable heat death of the universe.
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
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.
