Terracotta Army Review
Terracotta Army is based on the creation of the army of statues for the mausoleum of Qin Shi Shuang, who was the first emperor of China. In the game, the emperor has died, and you play the role of one of his craftspeople.
Tiletum Review
When is a T-game not a T-game? The answer is... I'm not sure. Board&Dice have a line of games that are lovingly referred to as the T-games, and I've covered some of them before. Let's take a look at Tiletum.
Ark Nova Review
All too often I've seen the hype for new games fade quicker than a cheap sparkler, but here we are, a year later, and people are still talking about Ark Nova. Mathias Wigge might not be a name you knew a year ago, so should you know it now?
Salerno ’43 Review
Today I'm upping the ante with my recent dive into wargaming. Putting on my big boy trousers and stepping up to 'hex and counter' games. My first foray proper into this world is with Salerno '43, a game from GMT Games and designer Mark Simonitch.
Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile Review
For such a simple action set to choose from, and with only three roles available in the entire game, Oath has no right to tickle your brain in the way it does.
Polis Review
Poleis is a war game, but not one with a ton of cardboard chits, or worrying about attack and defence values. In fact, it looks and feels more like a Euro game
Tabannusi: Builders of Ur Review
Dice as workers, a historical theme with an unusual name beginning with the letter T, and tons of depth - it's all in there. Let's take a look at Tabannusi.
Apocalypse Road Review
A post-apocalyptic, pretzels & Pabst, petrol-powered, powder keg of a game
Crescent Moon Review
Wargames tend to do asymmetry best. Crescent Moon is the new kid on the block, moving the strategy to a non-specific Caliphate, somewhere out in the desert.
