In AuZtralia, we ended up as the main course again. Right at the last minute. There is nothing quite like a table feeling safe, only to discover that it absolutely is not.

The revelation that lets Cthulhu move six times is harsh. Properly harsh. It is not there to offer a vague threat; it shifts everyone’s position around the table and makes very clear who is hunting whom.

Wallace, you magnificent menace. One move is enough to make the endgame feel personal.

  • Review SpaceCorp: 2025-2300AD

    SpaceCorp with Ventures is a tight, lively full package, and it is notably better at three, where blocking and close scores make every move matter. You may complain before realising how dangerous your company becomes in the final phase; that is part of the pleasure.

  • Review Knee Deep in Hexes

    Knee Deep in Hexes is an honest, luck-free duel with the urgent economy of a classic resource-rush RTS. The rules are light, but repeat games develop teeth.

  • Review Arcs

    Arcs improves markedly once the advanced rules, asymmetric alien factions, and their powers enter the picture. It still leaves too much of its balance to the people around the table, but this is no longer an automatic no.
