looot box art

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 box art

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.

sakana stack box art

Sakana Stack Preview

Sakana Stack is quick, easy, gorgeous to look at, and a lot of fun. It’ll join the likes of Scout and Tokkuri Taking in my convention bag for some time to come.

Mass Effect box art

Mass Effect: The Board Game Review

So Mass Effect: The Board Game isn’t a 1:1 recreation of any of the video games. It’s also not a sprawling TTRPG full of its relationships and intergalactic power struggles. What is it then?

cascadero box art

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.

spots box art

Spots Review

Spots has already become a favourite here at home. It’s quick to learn, packs in tons of variety, and it’s stupidly charming.

wilmots warehouse box art

Wilmot’s Warehouse Review

arcs box art

Cat In The Box: Deluxe Edition Review

So far, so easy, you might think, and you’d be right. However, there are a couple of pretty big spanners you can throw into the mix, but your choice of spanners and when you want to toss them in depends on your ability to predict the future.
