Competitive games with low interaction

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 box art

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 5x5 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.

Ark Nova Review

All too often I've seen the hype for new games fade quicker than a cheap sparkler, but here we are, a year later, and people are still talking about Ark Nova. Mathias Wigge might not be a name you knew a year ago, so should you know it now?

Manifest Review

Manifest is a '20s-themed pick-up-and-deliver affair. Rival shipping companies aim to be the best, making money by shipping goods and passengers around the globe.
