Windmill Valley Review
This is a great example of everything a modern Euro game should be. Clean design, clear rules, bright boards, and just the right amount of mental overhead.

A big vision, and a really unusual setting and theme which feels exotic and fresh to me.
In the Footsteps of Darwin is a game which will have you cursing your fellow players. You’ll catch yourself muttering “I can’t believe you took my wombat!”, and no one will bat an eyelid.
A game about making a character for another game. Is that really a game? It turns out that yes, it most definitely is a game, and a fun game at that.
It’s not just fish down there though, there are other things. Horrible things. Unspeakable things.
The blind bidding clack-clack-clack of the worker disc placement adds a rich, bright counterpoint to the by-the-books Euro format of collecting resources to fulfil goals. A toccata to its fugue, if you like.
The luck elements in the game might lead you to house rule it or straight up not enjoy it, but if you don’t mind a bit of a gamble, Rats of Wistar is another great game from the Simone Luciani stable.
It’s not Super Long Nose Goblin for the PC Engine, it’s dinosaurs drinking sake in Tokkuri Taking, and it’s a lot of fun.
t’s the Christmas that comes in the middle of the year. It’s the UKGE, and once again I went and I had an amazing time.
It’s here now, I have my hands on a copy, and I have to admit that for the most part – I was wrong.
