Circadians: First Light
Circadians: First Light is a cute, busy dice-placement game with asymmetric powers and far more going on than its compact box suggests. It makes for a pleasant session, but not one I am eager to arrange again soon.

Circadians: First Light is one of those small boxes that opens up as though somebody has packed ten kilos of pasta into it. There is dice placement, asymmetric player powers, and a surprising number of moving parts squeezed into something that looks rather modest on the shelf.
More impressive still, it all goes back in afterwards. For an adult who wants a game after work without turning the dining table into a storage unit, that counts for rather a lot. There were good moments and the time passed pleasantly enough; the many pieces simply never settled into an experience that asked me for an immediate encore.

It is not a great game, but it is not a bad one either. It is a perfectly agreeable evening at the table, though I shall not be seeking another quite so soon. 7/10.
