Light games
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.
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 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.
It's not just fish down there though, there are other things. Horrible things. Unspeakable things.
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.
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.
If you're looking for the short version of "Is it any good?", then I can confirm that yes, it is. Stick around and let me explain why.
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.
This isn't a mini-review of Qawale. It's a normal review of Qawale Mini, a smaller version of the hit abstract game from Gigamic. That said, it won't be a long one, as it's a quick, light abstract game.
Faraway is one of those games that actually deserves the hype, and deserves its recent As d'Or win.
