Rauha Review
The alternate drafting is really interesting and adds a nice little squeeze of tension, drizzled over the top of the game.
Game Complexity: Medium
Task Force: Carrier Battles in the Pacific Review
Thematic touches are all over the game’s design, and while they’re the sort of things wargame veterans might take for granted, newcomers – who VUCA have clearly invited to the party with Task Force – will be pleasantly surprised.
Beyond The Sun Review
Beyond The Sun is absolutely brilliant. I don’t go around making claims like that without being able to back it up, so let’s get into it.
Lanzerath Ridge Review
David Thompson has created an exciting, evocative game full of dice rolling, pushing your luck, and making do with insufficient actions.
Ynaros Fallin’ Preview
Rival Shamans face off across a magical land, a magical land which is conveniently made of hexagons. Your aim: to become the most powerful Shaman the land has ever seen.
Star Wars Villainous Review
If you’re going to make a game called Villainous, you need charismatic Villains, and the Star Wars universe is full of them. Star Wars + Villainous mechanisms + a few new tweaks = Villainous 1.5, and I really like it.
Votes For Women Review
In previous reviews, I’ve talked about how theme is woven into games, like threads in a tapestry. In Votes for Women it’s less ‘weaving threads’ and more like ‘pick up that tapestry and dunk it in a tank of permanent dye’.
Crown Of Ash Preview
Four undead lords seeking to avenge their betrayal by the hand of their own king. Raise an army of once-dead fighters, rebuild your strongholds, and usurp the king, claiming his citadel
Heat: Pedal To The Metal Review
It all goes towards giving a wonderful push-and-pull feeling to the game, which once again, just slathers on more theme like dirty, greasy frosting.
Wreckland Run Review
A fully-resettable campaign game for one player which is quick to play, fun, and doesn’t take up an acre of table space? Yes indeed, what a great game.
