Lepidoptery Review – Is a review better than word of moth?
For a game to succeed in a crowded market, it needs to stand on its own two feet. Butterflies have six feet, which is surely cheating, but it works.

Doom: Arena Board Game Preview – Rip and tear, until it’s done
As someone who doesn't usually reach for a skirmish game, I went into Doom with a sense of apprehension, hoping that the Doom feel would carry through, and to its credit, it does a really good job of it.
Asterix & Co. Review – The Gaul of it!
The concept behind Asterix & Co. is simple, which is precisely what you want from a game you'll play with your family.
The Druids Of Edora Review – Fun forest frolics from Feld
A new Stefan Feld game arriving is always exciting to me. You never quite know what you're going to get.
Kanal Review – Waterway to make a game
For me, though, Kanal is another of those games I'll return to again and again when I have an hour to myself and want to get away from the screen. A delicious solo puzzle ice cream with Rosenberg ripples throughout.
Idle Hands Review – Full of negatives, yet brilliant
If you like trick-taking games, especially those with a little bit of needle in them, a little bit of take-that, you'll have a great time with Idle Hands
Magical Athlete Review – Hysterical nonsense of the best kind
Magical Athlete is the Black Sheep of the family. The nonconformist. The maverick. The 'bad game' which is an absolute blast to play.
D.O.T Preview – Duelling with a difference
D.O.T is the game I keep thinking about, and the one I keep wanting to go back and play around with a little more.
Fetching Feathers Preview – Ornithological refinement
It's a familiar game, for sure, but I think it's more like a refinement than anything else. It's like making the most amazing sandwich, then someone saying, "You know what, let's see what happens when we add fewer flavours of crisps in this".
Gatsby Review – Lavish party or lost love?
Depending on your age and demographics, you can think of it as a rap battle, an Errol Flynn duel, or, for me, the insult swordfighting from Monkey Island.
