  • Burger Up

    Warning! Do not read this review while hungry. You’re about to read a many words about burgers, which will make you hungry to play Burger Up, but also to go out and eat at that grass-fed beef only burger place across town.

  • Canterbury

    Games where you build cities are not exactly new. But they rarely go into the logistics of it, things like “before you build a theater there, shouldn’t you supply food and water”? Canterbury goes into that part of building cities, but it doesn’t need complicated rules for it. Just make sure you build things in order and make sure you get the majorities in supplying city districts, because that’s how you win.

  • Discworld: Ankh-Morpork

    Space. The Final Frontier. These are the adventures of giant turtle Great A’tuin, her four elephant companions standing on her shell and the millions of people living on the world they carry. This is the Discworld, and that muddy brown spot over there is Ankh-Morpork, home to a million people and more drama than any other city in the multiverse.

  • La Isla

    A mysterious island has recently been discovered in the middle of the ocean. In its own way, it’s a very wealthy island. Not with oil, or gold. The island is home to five species of animal that were thought extinct. And as you set foot on La Isla, your goal is to capture some of them.

  • Elysium

    Usually, when a game tells you to create your own legend, it doesn’t mean you should kill the people participating in it. But when the game is named after the Greek underworld for heroes and demigods it was predictable that they would have to get there somehow, and the usual way is dying. But at least they will contribute to your legend and maybe help secure your place on Olympus.

  • Metropolys

    Metropolys – easily recognised as one of Ystari’s games by the trademark Y – is an auction game with not too complex rules but some interesting scoring trade-offs. It also features a very unique and appealing artistic style.

  • Alchemists

    Combining boardgames with mobile apps into a game that people actually want to play is the current Philosophers’ Stone and Holy Grail rolled into one for game designers and publishers. The Philosophers’ Grail, maybe. Previous attempts have had lukewarm success at best. But Alchemists is the first in a new wave of games with companion app, and it might just have found the magic formula how do it right.

  • 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.
