A new Stefan Feld game arriving is always exciting to me. You never quite know what you’re going to get.
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.
It’s a familiar game, for sure, but I think it’s more like a refinement than anything else. It’s like making the most amazing sandwich, then someone saying, “You know what, let’s see what happens when we add fewer flavours of crisps in this”.

Seemingly coming from out of nowhere, Lookout Games blindsided us with Great Western Trail: El Paso, a new, smaller, more accessible version of the game.
