The Guild of Merchant Explorers Review
The Guild of Merchant Explorers doesn’t just look like a fancy version of Kingdom Builder, it actually plays like one too.
Game Complexity: Light
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 5×5 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.
Pearladora Review
Pearladora is a game set around a series of lagoons, and in these lagoons are piles of pearls, just waiting to be claimed. The inhabitants of the islands, dotted around the lagoons, want to be the best and to collect the most pearls.
Hiroba Review
In the first of a series of reviews of new French games, this is Hiroba. Hiroba is a quick and light game from publisher Funnyfox which leans heavily on the gameplay concepts of Sudoku.
Waggle Dance Review
I’d love to stroke a bumblebee, they look sooo fluffy. Waggle Dance is a new version of the classic game from Mike Nudd, from Bright Eye Games.
Manifest Review
Manifest is a ’20s-themed pick-up-and-deliver affair. Rival shipping companies aim to be the best, making money by shipping goods and passengers around the globe.
Basilica Review
Basilica is another new game which puts you in the role of cathedral builder extraordinaire. It’s a game where two of you battle to be the best builder, and let me tell you, when I say battle, I mean battle. Things are going to get feisty
Castleshire Preview
As Eddie Izzard once said, over here in Europe we’ve got tons of castles. So many, that we’ve all got one each.
Unlucky Adventurers Preview
With a name like Unlucky Adventurers, you might be wondering if it’s a game of complete luck. The answer is a bit of yes, and a bit of no.
Cubitos Review
Cubitos is a racing game from John D. Clair (Dead Reckoning, Mystic Vale, Space Base) and Alderac, which mixes frenetic jockeying for position with bag-building.
