Rebirth Review

Battalion: War Of The Ancients Review
Battalion is a game which masquerades as a wargame, has all the theme and trappings of a war game, but plays more like an asymmetric dueling card game.
Looot Review
Looot does a lot of things well. It combines two separate geometric puzzles - one shared, one personal - and asks you to figure out the best way to take advantage of the opportunities on each.
River Of Gold Review
The mental gymnastics aren't venturing into Lacerda or Splotter levels here, but there's enough to keep your brain on its toes. Not that brains have toes, but you get the idea.
Cascadero Review
Cascadero is the sort of game which is an instant hit with me. Two to four players, a super slim box which fits in the gaps on any shelves, a couple of minutes to set up, and all done in under an hour. Ideal.
Arcs Review
Is Arcs the best game ever? No. Is it a chaotic, unbalanced mess? No, it's not that either. Arcs is a superb game which comes with a few caveats to get the most from it.
Tokkuri Taking Review
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.
Fled Preview
What initially looks like a light tile-laying game soon reveals itself to be a shrewd, interactive puzzle that a lot of people are really going to enjoy.
Hegemony: Lead Your Class To Victory Review
Hegemony: Lead Your Class To Victory might just be one of the best games I've ever played. That said, I'm not sure I'd recommend it to most people.
Sea Salt & Paper Review
Sea Salt & Paper is a great game which now happily nestles in my travel back of 'card games to play anywhere with anyone' along with the likes of Scout and 6 Nimmt.
