  • Undercover

    The life of a secret agent is tough. We know from James Bond’s biographical movies about the large number of people who to kill you while megalomaniac villains try to either kill everyone, enslave everyone or just take everyone’s money. But those movies gloss over the hardest part of the job: keeping track of who is who, and who they are working for. You think it’s easy, working with a bunch of double agents who all look the same because they wear stupid hats and trench coats and only meet in dark corners, anyway? Well, think again after you accidentally pass that briefcase to the wrong guy. He looked just like the right guy, but when he said “Thank you” you realized he was talking with the wrong stereotypical villain accent. But no more! With Undercover Doris and Daniel Danzer will help you understand just how hard the secret agent life is on your memory.

  • Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar

    The Maya people had a very sophisticated calendar system, consisting of multiple counts with different lengths. One of these counts is the 260-day tzolk’in. It’s also the driving force in the game, everything is moved by the turning of the tzolk’in gear, and timing your actions to make the best use of that is essential.

  • Sea of Clouds

    The right combination of two familiar game mechanics can create something new and fun. Sea of Clouds combines a drafting game with a press-your-luck mechanic. If you enjoy only one of those, then this game is definitely worth your time because it combines the best parts of them. And it does that while letting you loot the skies as a flying pirate, if you needed any more convincing.

  • Evolution: The Origin of Species

    Evolution is one of the more vicious card games out there – eating your opponents animals is a great survival strategy. But the game’s author is a biologist by trade, so at least it is scientifically acurate viciousness.

  • Okiya

    Looking through the window into the garden, you see two rivalling gangs of geishas fighting for control. Wait. WHAT? The setting doesn’t always have to make much sense for a beautiful game, especially not when it’s a very short and fun abstract.

  • Onirim

    Every night when you go to sleep, your mind gets lost in the Dream Labyrinth. It will wander there for a while and then get back to you in time to wake up. Unless, of course, you are one of the Dreamwalker, for them it’s a fight to return every night, having to find the eight oneiric doors first, chased by nightmares. And they are all alone – or sometimes with one more companion – with the risk of never waking up.

  • Columba

    Rearing pidgeons is such a peaceful, placid hobby, isn’t it. A game about it must be full of zen, a meditation exercise with tiles. Wrong! Columba is a very interactive tile laying/area control game with lots of options to mess with your opponents.

  • Old Men of the Forest

    Old Men of the Forest is a charity game: all its profits go to the Orangutan Foundation UK. So don’t think of this as a review, its more a “bringing it to your attention”. You can support the apes – never call them monkeys, they hate that – and gain a light card game in the process.
