    Times were hard during the prohibition, and you couldn’t even take a drink to make them easier. Except if you were the criminal element, then you had all the booze you could drink with enough left to turn a huge profit. And gambling and cigars on the side, too. Or you end up deep in debt with the other mobsters calling for your head.

  • Copycat

    What comes out when you take two popular games, add some dashes of more games, and then run that mix through a cocktail shaker? That’s what Friedemann Friese wanted to know when he created Copycat from odds and ends of the Top Ten games on BoardGameGeek. And what came out … well, read for yourself.

  • The Last Banquet

    You don’t often have 25 players to fit into one game. But when you do, what are you going to do? Name one single game that fits that many people and doesn’t involve drinking. Well, we have one for you now.

  • Sandwich

    Maybe you have heard the term "snack game" for a game that plays in about fifteen minutes, while you’re waiting for your pizza or for another game to end. Sandwich is a snack game, in all meanings of the expression.

  • Dixit 2

    Sometimes, game expansion are best when they change nothing at all. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it, as they say.
    Is this nugget of wisdom true for Dixit 2?

  • Prêt-à-Porter

    The world of fashion is not a usual setting for boardgames, but Prêt-à-Porter nails it on the first try. It was nominated for Polish Game of the Year this year, and this year the whole world can enjoy the English edition.

  • Monty Python Fluxx

    Some people don’t like too much randomness in games. Those people better stop reading now, because we’re talking about Fluxx. Fluxx is slightly more random than getting up in the middle of the business meeting yelling “CAULIFLOWER” … while wearing a wombat suit. And this here is not just any Fluxx, iiiiiiiiit’s MontyPython’s Flying Fluxx Game!

  • Love Letter

    Very few board and card games come out of Japan. It’s not because they don’t exist there, they just don’t make it to Europe or the US. Alderac Entertainment is working on changing that with their Big in Japan series, games by Japanese designers, first published in Japan and for the first time translated to English. That’s why we get to play Love Letter.
