Québec
Québec, then, a game that was first released in 2007 and shows its age a little, but overall it is interesting and—once you get the hang of it—starts becoming honestly complex.

Commands & Colors: Napoleonics
Back to our beloved blocks and dice that make us cry, this time with the epic Waterloo. As happens to anyone who has their C&C loose like I do, it took us longer to set up than to play, without that meaning the experience was bad. Very decent brawling, a nice and epic battle…

The Bell of Treason: 1938 Munich Crisis in Czechoslovakia
So far, GMT’s lunch time games have not particularly grabbed me. Both Fort Sumpter and Red Flag Over Paris were, generously speaking, mediocre and boring. Czechoslovakia is a notch above, it somewhat resembles the considerably better Crisis:1914, which has similar mechanisms, but still no...

Reviews· Review Thesauros
If you’re not playing anyway, why not go fishing? A game that slipped away from the temple’s procurement department, but ended up in the collection of the other cardboard collector in the group, who, together with the now-viral little rules-explanation hand, proceeded to serve us a seafood menu. Basically, Thesauros…

Reviews· Review Grimcoven
As time goes by, everything bends, even the serious objections I had regarding co-op “trash”. Every year that passes more and more cooperative dungeon crawlers see the table, and the truth is that things have gone from cringe 9000 more towards “we had a good time but we could have done better…

Reviews· Review Zoo Vadis
Just as Sauron’s shadow began to spread across Middle-earth, so too did this innocent little game with its pleasant graphics, little animals, and Knizia’s signature come to stir the waters and turn the table from innocent hobbits into an Uruk-hai feast. My first encounter with this piece reminded me of some innocent ch…

-
WhiteColarGamerSuave, flamboyant, and unrepentant about it. Drawn to deluxe editions, upgraded components and a table that looks as good as it plays.
-
TheTrainSpotterA mechanisms obsessive. Never reviews a game in isolation — always reaching for what it borrows, what it refines, and which other titles sit next to it on the shelf.
-
TheCuttlefishCares about the box, the insert and the rulebook as much as the game. Has a particular weakness for tidy rules and gleeful take-that.
-
EdgyJellyfishStrict, sarcastic, and allergic to sloppy design. Finds the crack in every strategy and enjoys widening it in public.
-
CaptainObviousLoves the games everyone already owns and the strategies everyone already knows. If it is popular it is on the table, and if it is exploitable it has already been exploited.

VexationThe only real (unless declared negative integer due to inebriation) person at the inception of this site. Hardcore gamer, software engineer and cool dad - keeping you company until the singularity takes over.
