Competitive games with high interaction

Votes For Women Review

In previous reviews, I've talked about how theme is woven into games, like threads in a tapestry. In Votes for Women it's less 'weaving threads' and more like 'pick up that tapestry and dunk it in a tank of permanent dye'.

Fire In The Lake Review

Fire in the Lake is the 4th game in the COIN (COunter-INsurgency) series, initially known to me as "That Vietnam one with the great box art".

Kamisado Review

Kamisado finds a happy medium between the two extremes. It's a game I can teach to anyone in a minute and have them enjoy, but the depth of the strategy continues to emerge long after your fiftieth game.

I grew up in the Golden Age of arcade beat-em-ups. The likes of Street Fighter 2 consumed me and my spare change for years. For a long time, there was no way to get that same feeling at home, and the rip-off games that appeared didn't really scratch that itch (we won't talk about how much I spent on a Japanese import copy Street Fighter 2 SNES cartridge)

Achroma Review

Achroma - the evolving card game in the style of a collectible card game. Beautiful artwork, and maybe more?

Crown Of Ash Preview

Four undead lords seeking to avenge their betrayal by the hand of their own king. Raise an army of once-dead fighters, rebuild your strongholds, and usurp the king, claiming his citadel

Pugs In Mugs Review

I've got a pet pug called Jeffrey. Actually, I've got one-and-a-half pugs, as I also have a half-pug called Peggy. Now, as squishy as a pug might be, there's no way I'm getting Jeff in a mug.

Scout Review

On the surface, it's easy to say Scout is a set collection game. The truth is that it's more of a 'carefully craft a set and then get rid of it' game.

Micro Bots: Duel Preview

The thrill of a re-purposed bread bin knocking seven bells out of a Tupperware box with a knife, is hard to beat. While Prometheus Game Labs' Micro Bots: Duel might not be quite as violent on your table, it's a cheaper and easier option for 1v1 robot carnage
