  • 7 Wonders: Babel

    7 Wonders is still one of the most popular games out there. Simple rules, quick to play even with 7 players, different every time you play. It’s no wonder the expansions keep coming. They might not necessarily improve the game, just because it’s very good already, but they add enough to keep 7 Wonders interesting even after many, many games played. Babel is the latest expansion, and the one that changes the game the most yet.

  • Greenland

    Greenland is a pretty hostile environment for human beings, and survival is at stake there every day. Not so much nowadays, but people have been living there since long before packaged food and electric heating. The game Greenland gives you some idea just how dangerous the place is: careful planning and good tactics will go a long way, but a bit of bad luck can still wipe out your people.

  • Empire Engine

    Micro games, very small games with few components and few rules, quick to explain and to play, are a minor trend at the moment. They don’t usually keep you entertained for the whole evening, but they are nice to play a round or three while you wait for pretty much anything. Even in a waiting room or on a train, because they’re very portable. Empire Engine is a micro game by Alderac where everything is about cogs and wheels. The whole planet the game is set on is made from cogs and wheels.

  • Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature

    The stuff of bad science fiction movies, come to live. That’s what you get in Science Fiction Double Feature, the third expansion to Smash Up. And they are all here to fight over the world, be it with bananas or martinis.

  • Tichu

    Tichu may be the game that profited most from going on the intertubes so far: while it has been around since 1991, it was appearing on Brettspielwelt that made the name known to every gamer to ever be online. And deservedly so. While Tichu may look similar to any other card game you know, it’s quite a unique mix of trick-taking and shedding game, but gains most its fascination from being a team game.

  • Five Tribes

    Bruno Cathala and Days of Wonder take us to Naqala, a magical kingdom straight out of Arabian Nights if Arabian Nights had included meeples. Which it should have. Five Tribes is one of the most talked about games of the last year, and after testing it extensively we understand why.

  • Primate Fear

    Ten years ago, you thought spanking the monkey was harmless fun. But you spanked him too hard, too long, too violently and the monkey died. Now, on this night, the money is back from the grave, and he’s out for revenge. And none of the above was a euphemism for anything!

  • La Boca

    The game La Boca takes its name from the neighborhood La Boca in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a uniquely colorful place. Just as uniquely, the game La Boca is a puzzle game with strong player interaction, and that makes it a lot of fun to play.
