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.
Game Length: Long (90+ mins)

Horseless Carriage Review
If you think games like Isle of Cats, A Feast For Odin, or even Barenpark are tricky tile-placement puzzles, then you ain’t seen nothing yet. Horseless Carriage is a harsh, unforgiving mistress.
Call Of Kilforth Review
Call of Kilforth does all of the things I like in a fantasy game while avoiding plenty of pitfalls.
Voidfall Review
There’s a lot of work involved in learning, setting up, and ultimately playing the game, but it’s worth it. Voidfall delivers on its lofty promises and goes beyond them.
Sankoré Review
Sankoré is fantastic, staging a successful coup d’etat against Merv and claiming the crown as my favourite of Fabio’s games. There’s a lot going on though, so be forewarned.
Factory 42 Review
Factory 42 takes the standard Euro worker-placement formula of ‘get stuff, make different stuff, get points for the new stuff’ and adds some pretty radical twists.
The Morrison Game Factory Review
A game about solving a mystery in a game factory, solving puzzles with parts of board games? Be still my beating heart.
Ancient Civilizations Of The Middle East Review
Conquer all before you, or Gilgamesh your way out of trouble. Ancient Civilizations of the Middle East lets you do both.
Barrage Review
Daaaaam! Literally, dam, because that’s what you’re building in Barrage – dams. Also conduits, powerhouses and elevations, but ‘Coooonduit!’ doesn’t have quite the same ring.
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
