  • Tokaido – Collectors’ Edition

    Usually, when a game is about traveling a road, you win by arriving first at the destination. Of course racing is fun, but it’s not the only way to travel. Sometimes, going slowly and enjoying the trip is what you should be doing. Antoine Bauza’s Tokaido rewards that type of travel, here the winner is the player who had the richest experience along the way. That makes Tokaido very different from a racing game, and in the best way, too.

  • Thunderstone: Starter Set

    How often has this happened to you? You are peacefully tending to your farm, and suddenly a hole in the ground opens up and monsters come streaming out. Next you know, a bunch of heroes are charging you a ridiculous fee to take care of the problem and then make off with the monsters’ treasures as well. Being a Villager in Thunderstone is little fun. But you, you’re one of those heroes.

  • Pandemic

    Once again, the world is in dire need of saving. But this time it is not dragons, space aliens or even the other players around the table that it needs saving from. It’s diseases – plural.

  • Mascarade

    Mascarade is proof that a good game doesn’t need many components. With just 13 cards and some paper coins, Bruno Faidutti created an intense game of bluff and confusion that works for up to 13 players.

  • Guildhall: Job Faire

    Guildhall was a surprise release by Alderac in 2012, there were no announcements or anything, the game was just there. Now the expansion/sequel Job Faire is out and was much less secretive. I guess we could all see the expansion coming. Just like its predecessor, its better if you don’t think about the game to thematically, if the medieval guild system had really worked like this game we’d still only have five bricklayers in the world, and where would we be then, as a civilisation? We probably wouldn’t be hating our fellow man over a card game, that’s where. And that would mean we’re not playing Guildhall.

  • 1984: Animal Farm

    The new world leaders after the 1984 revolution: Pandas, Eagles, Frogs, Bears and Pigs. You may or may not be surprised to learn that, other than the species, nothing has changed. The world is struggling in a five-way Cold War, permanently on the brink of thermonuclear destruction, and your goal in this game is not to save the world and bring lasting peace – except maybe by eliminating the competition. 1984: Animal Farm may be one of the games least conductive to maintaining friendship since Diplomacy.

  • 7 Wonders: Cities

    The second expansion for Antoine Bauza’s Kennerspiel des Jahres is 7 Wonders: Cities, and it’s all about Peace and Money. Or maybe Peace and Theft. With two new wonders, 9 new cards per age, new guilds and new leaders, the expansion mixes things up a bit.

  • The Resistance

    We find ourselves in a not-so-far future. The whole world is controlled by a totalitarian government. Only a small resistance group is desperately trying to free the people, but their time is running out: they have already been infiltrated.
