Courtisans Review
What’s on the menu? Hors d’oeuvres of influence & backstabbing, followed by a main course of skullduggery and shenanigans.

Shackleton Base Review
Shackleton base is built around some seemingly simple actions which belie how deep and malleable the game is. Like a drainpipe full of play-doh, maybe.
The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth Review
You can keep your Marvel and Cthulhu cash-ins, it does nothing for me. Yet here I am singing the praises of a game I love that’s wearing Tolkien’s fantasy garb.
Wayfarers of the South Tigris Review
Wayfarers combines traditional worker-placement, dice-as-workers, and tableau-building and it does it brilliantly. Like, chef’s kiss good.
Faraway Review
Faraway is one of those games that actually deserves the hype, and deserves its recent As d’Or win.
Explorers Of Navoria Preview
Explorers of Navoria is a concise, streamlined, tableau-building game, and I really like it.
Point City Review
When is a city-builder, not a city-builder? When it’s an engine-builder. Point City is a quick, bright, and easy game about building a city.
Earth Review
Earth is the ideal game to play while you’re sitting around a table with people you like, having a chill time making little wooden towers.
Rauha Review
The alternate drafting is really interesting and adds a nice little squeeze of tension, drizzled over the top of the game.
Village Rails Review
Over the course of a game, you’re going to make seven railway lines with twelve cards. No more, no less.
