  • Crows

    Crows is a game about crows. And shiny objects. It’s a game that has crow meeple, and many chances to screw your opponents out of points they thought were safe already. It’s also a game that has crow meeple, did I mention that?

  • Cargotrain

    Trains, pick-up-and-deliver mechanic, set collection. All that doesn’t sound new, the mechanics have been used and even combined before, and there are more than a few train games out there. But Cargotrain takes those simple ingredients and mixes them up into something tasty and fun.

  • Pickomino

    Not every game can be a brain-twisting, deeply strategic game. A gaming evening/weekend/vacation needs the fillers, the quick, light games that nevertheless everyone enjoys. And that’s where Pickomino, a game that you wouldn’t expect to show up in a serious gamer’s play time, has its niche.

  • Istanbul: Mocha & Baksheesh

    Being a merchant in the bazaar of Istanbul is a demanding job, and some days you just can’t do it without some chemical stimulation. With the new expansion to Mocha & Baksheesh, you can finally have your coffee in Rüdiger Dorn’s Istanbul. But it’s not for you to drink and gain energy for additional actions, it’s another commodity for you to trade in on your quest for rubies. But does coffee really make everything better?

  • The Dwarf King

    Dwarves, Goblins and Knights are all united in a trick-taking card game that sounds easy and simple, there’s not even a trump colour. But The Dwarf King has changing scoring rules, wacky special cards and the best illustrations I’ve seen in a card game recently.

  • 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.

  • Pamplona – Viva San Fermín!

    The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona is a world-famous festival, moreso since Hemmingway wrote about it. But its rarely used as a theme for boardgames. Pamplona – Viva San Fermín does make use of it.

  • Take it easy!

    Simple, abstract games can be so frustrating sometimes. You spend 10 turns, waiting for the right tile, and just after you decide it won’t come up and put something else in it’s place, it comes up. DO you know that feeling? No? Then you don’t know Take it easy.
