Qawale Mini Review

This isn’t a mini-review of Qawale. It’s a normal review of Qawale Mini, a smaller version of the hit abstract game from Gigamic. That said, it won’t be a long one, as it’s a quick, light abstract game.

When is a city-builder, not a city-builder? When it’s an engine-builder. Point City is a quick, bright, and easy game about building a city.
