Barcelona Review
Barcelona is the latest Euro game from Board&Dice. It's a mixture of tile-placement and action-selection, and while that sounds like a relatively easy mixture to cope with, there are a lot of things going on
Tag Tile-placement
Oros Review
Oros is a unique game which deserves way more attention than it gets. If you're one of those people who's always looking for that undiscovered gem, or just want something different from anything you've played before, Oros is a fantastic choice.
Akropolis Review
Akropolis would be tricky enough if was just a case of planning your own city because there are a buttload of decisions to make with every single tile choice and every single tile placement.
Ynaros Fallin’ Preview
Rival Shamans face off across a magical land, a magical land which is conveniently made of hexagons. Your aim: to become the most powerful Shaman the land has ever seen.
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 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.
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?
Tabannusi: Builders of Ur Review
Dice as workers, a historical theme with an unusual name beginning with the letter T, and tons of depth - it's all in there. Let's take a look at Tabannusi.
Origins: First Builders Review
Origins: First Builders puts you in a world where these aliens have popped over to say hi, and are willing to teach us all about building and warfare, and all that good stuff.
Almadi Review
If you've read The Arabian Nights (One Thousand and One Nights) collection of stories, you might be familiar with the fate of the sultan's bride, Scheherazade. In Almadi, rather than kill her as he intended to, the sultan is won over by her tales, and decides to build her her own realm - Almadi.
Bag Of Dungeon Review
Lots of good things come in bags. I'm a big fan of crisps, for example. But now, now dear reader, you can get a whole freaking dungeon in a bag! Bag of Dungeon is a dungeon-crawler game from Gunpowder Studios, which, unsurprisingly, comes in a bag.
