Overparked Review – Lots of fun
I’ve introduced Overparked to three separate groups since I bought it at UKGE, and it’s been a hit with each and every person who’s played it.

Great Western Trail: El Paso Review – All hat and no Cowboy?
Seemingly coming from out of nowhere, Lookout Games blindsided us with Great Western Trail: El Paso, a new, smaller, more accessible version of the game.
Come Sail Away Review – Masterful Maritime Mancala
The aim of the game is to fill the different rooms aboard your liner as efficiently as possible, using one of my favourite mechanisms in all of gaming, the humble mancala. With plenty of tactical space to play in, Come Sail Away is excellent. Come aboard, and let me tell you why.
Eternal Decks Review – Deck Management Excellence
While Eternal Decks may not be a hand-crafted game you bought from some guy in a trenchcoat in a back alley in Shibuya, it still feels like that not-quite-so-well-hidden gem at the moment
The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era Review
A love letter to the series, in the form of a lavish, rewarding masterpiece of game design, and I cannot wait to play it again. I honestly can’t. I want to dig around in the fantasy sandbox and see what happens next. Just remember what I’ve told you here today. Forewarned is forearmed, adventurer.
Tokaido (and new solo mode) Review
Tokaido is still Tokaido. It was a great, light game thirteen years ago, and it’s still a great, light game.

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.
Hoplomachus: Remastered & Pandora’s Wake Expansion Review
Everything about it feels refined, and by boiling it down with the new graphic design Chip Theory have extracted the essence of what makes a good skirmish game.
Kronologic: Paris 1920 Review
The designers have built the game on the back of a cool card masking gimmick, helping it deliver a cracking deduction game in half an hour. Think Clue meets The Search for Planet X and you’re getting somewhere close.
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.
