Play Something Old: Troyes
It's a game where you roll dice and use them to take actions in the French town of Troyes in the 1200s. Phwoar! If that doesn't get you hot under the collar, are you even human?!
Game Length Medium (30-90 mins)
Medium length games
Dewan Review – Got an umbrella? It’s about terrain
"Unnecessary, slightly too sensual, but glorious all the same."
Sanctuary Review – Ark Nova lite? Not really.
Sanctuary is lighter than Ark Nova, but still enough to get your teeth stuck into, and yes, I believe there's space in your collection for both.
Ready Set Bet Review – Worth Taking a Gamble On?
Ready Set Bet actually has some of that Sackson DNA, but it's implemented very differently.

Ayar: Children of the Sun Review – I have an Inca-ling it’s going to be good
Ayar does things differently from its predecessors, but still retains the feel and atmosphere of them while offering something wholly different. I think it might be the best of the bunch.
Doom: Arena Board Game Preview – Rip and tear, until it’s done

The Druids Of Edora Review – Fun forest frolics from Feld
A new Stefan Feld game arriving is always exciting to me. You never quite know what you're going to get.
Kanal Review – Waterway to make a game
For me, though, Kanal is another of those games I'll return to again and again when I have an hour to myself and want to get away from the screen. A delicious solo puzzle ice cream with Rosenberg ripples throughout.
Between Two Castles: Essential Edition Review – Rock and a hard place?
Once you have more than four people sitting at the table, that's when Between Two Castles has its 'hold my beer' moment.
