Puzzle Post – The Disappearance
The acid test for me when it comes to these games where you want to feel immersion in a mystery is how realistic the things included seem. The Disappearance nails it.
Game Length: Medium (30-90 mins)

Finspan Review
Whether you’re sick of -span games or not, Finspan is here, and you know what? It’s good.
Rebirth Review
Three years ago I wrote a post about whether Reiner Knizia could stay relevant as a modern designe. I should have known better than to doubt him.
Tenpenny Parks Review
My chosen board game world is one of muted beige and dry themes, so Tenpenny Parks stands out like a neon helter-skelter in the middle of it. I love it for that.
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.
Ironwood Review
The struggle between nature and progress is delivered beautifully in the best two-player board game I’ve played in a long time.
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.
Orbit Preview
Did you know there are only a few mammals in the world that lay eggs. They’re called monotremes. One member of the monotreme family is the short-beaked echidna. Orbit is a game about tourists in space.
Mutagen Preview
I miss the days when worker-placement games kept things simple and relied on solid core game design to tempt the box off your shelf and onto the table. Mutagen gives me that same feeling again, and I like it all the more for it.
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.
