Atiwa Review
Atiwa hit shelves after a successful launch at Essen Spiel ’22. It’s a game about bats, and you know what? I think it might be my favourite Uwe Rosenberg game.
Game Type: Competitive - low interaction
Verdant Review
Flatout Games has built a good name for itself with its previous games, Calico and Cascadia. Verdant picks up the baton and keeps running, delivering another solid, clever game
The Guild of Merchant Explorers Review
The Guild of Merchant Explorers doesn’t just look like a fancy version of Kingdom Builder, it actually plays like one too.
Eleven Review
Eleven surprised me. Eleven has shown me that it is possible to make a good game based around a sport, as long as it doesn’t try to directly mimic the sport itself.
Obsession Review
Let me guess. You found your way here because you’re board-game-curious and heard that Obsession has a Pride and Prejudice / Jane Austen vibe. How am I doing so far?
Shake That City Review
Shake That City is a tile-laying puzzle game with really light rules. The (very tenuous) theme has you choosing a series of tiles to make your own little city on your 5×5 grid boards. “But Adam, how am I – a lowly civil engineer – meant to choose which buildings and infrastructure go into my city?”. Don’t worry, friend, that’s where the cube shaker comes in.
Demeter + Autumn & Winter Expansion Review
You’re on a shuttle, heading from Ganymede (one of Jupiter’s moons) to one of the moons of a red dwarf called Demeter. You’re heading there because they’re extremely similar to Earth, and as luck would have it, they’ve discovered dinosaurs on one of the moons.
Dinosaurs. In. Space.
Terracotta Army Review
Terracotta Army is based on the creation of the army of statues for the mausoleum of Qin Shi Shuang, who was the first emperor of China. In the game, the emperor has died, and you play the role of one of his craftspeople.
Tiletum Review
When is a T-game not a T-game? The answer is… I’m not sure. Board&Dice have a line of games that are lovingly referred to as the T-games, and I’ve covered some of them before. Let’s take a look at Tiletum.
Waggle Dance Review
I’d love to stroke a bumblebee, they look sooo fluffy. Waggle Dance is a new version of the classic game from Mike Nudd, from Bright Eye Games.
