Have you always dreamed of being an Ancient Greek town planner? Well dream no more, now you can, in the most abstract of senses.

Spintronics Review

I will preface this review for my regular readers: Spintronics is not a boardgame. It's an educational puzzle 'game'. Deep in the American mid-west, a daughter of clock-makers is exploring an interesting new phenomenon, Spintronics! In the absence of electrical power, but the abundance of old clocks, a strong desire to avoid doing laundry has … Continue reading Spintronics Review →

It's the mid 16th 17-19th century! The beginning of a golden age of interior decorating chocolate in Western Europe. Recently returned from a tour of Alhambra's finely decorated palaces, King Manuel I of Portugal h..... Uhh. You are making chocolates. And arranging them nicely in their box.

Circadians: Chaos Order Review

If you haven't seen Avatar (the movie) (yes, the blue aliens one, not the blue forehead arrow one) please go and watch it quickly now so I can do a lazier job of writing this intro. Ok? Great. So ... It's Avatar the movie. Humans have turned up at the planet and against all statistical … Continue reading Circadians: Chaos Order Review →

Project L Review

Hmm, how to introduce Project L? Usually I will write a little thematic opener here, but Project L has absolutely no pretence of theme whatsoever. It is a cold, hard abstract game, about doing puzzles and being efficient. Let's not waste any more time here, let's start the review! 1-4 Players | 20 Minutes | … Continue reading Project L Review →

High Frontier 4 All: Race for Glory!

I've recently gotten the chance to explore High Frontier 4 All, the fourth edition of Phil Eklund's science based space exploration game. This post is somewhat of a first impressions write up, given I have only played the game twice at this point, and haven't fully explored the core game yet. I know there is … Continue reading High Frontier 4 All: Race for Glory! →

Ragusa Review

Back before the USA was a thing, there was Rag-usa, the legendary hub of trading and industry! Looks like you will be taking a role in the construction of Ragusa itself, and helping to set up a bustling industry in the town. You will need to think carefully about where you set up your buildings, … Continue reading Ragusa Review →
