Destinies Review
Through a mixture of placing tiles and rolling dice, players assume the role of a character in each scenario, and choose how best to fulfil their own destiny, while others race to do the same.
Game Length: Medium (30-90 mins)
Root Review (+ expansions)

Blood of the Northmen Review
The aim of the game is to either grow your clan large enough to form the nation of Bjarmia (I googled it, it was a real thing), or kick enough ass to win through sheer dominance.
Santa Monica Review
Santa Monica is a game where you’re trying to develop a neighbourhood in South California, and trying to choose the features which will score you the most points.
Distilled Preview
In Distilled, you play the role of a character who has inherited an abandoned distillery. Your goal is to return it to its former glory, restoring your family’s name, and earning yourself the title of Master Distiller.

Black Sonata Review
Black Sonata puts you in London in the early 1600s, tracking down Shakespeare’s elusive temptress and trying to determine her true identity.
Chronicles of Crime: 1900 Review
The first Chronicles of Crime game was set in present time, then came the follow-up, set in 1400. Fast-forward half a millennium, and we’re looking at the latest game – Chronicles of Crime: 1900
Pilfering Pandas Preview
