Play Something Old: Troyes
It's a game where you roll dice and use them to take actions in the French town of Troyes in the 1200s. Phwoar! If that doesn't get you hot under the collar, are you even human?!

Doggerland Review – Your new favourite glacial retreat
If you played Stone Age and loved the theme, or wished there was a bit more to the game, then Doggerland was basically made for you.
Tianxia Review – Prestigious times defending China
I like Tianxia a lot; it does things you rarely see in modern games.
Galactic Cruise Review
Galactic Cruise is a Joy. It'll be a tough act for Kinson Key to follow, and I really hope they manage to. Stellar stuff.
Inventions: Evolution of Ideas Review
Inventions is a great game. It's a very expensive game, so make sure it's one that will fit with your group, but if does, you'll love it. It's an ever-changing puzzle which your brain will simultaneously love and hate while you try to solve it.
Tenpenny Parks Review
My chosen board game world is one of muted beige and dry themes, so Tenpenny Parks stands out like a neon helter-skelter in the middle of it. I love it for that.
Mutagen Preview
I miss the days when worker-placement games kept things simple and relied on solid core game design to tempt the box off your shelf and onto the table. Mutagen gives me that same feeling again, and I like it all the more for it.
Luthier Preview
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.
Rats Of Wistar Review
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.
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.
