Lowlands

Lowlands never made for a bad evening, but its welcome wore out far sooner than I expected.

I played Lowlands with different groups, on the sort of post-work evening when the thought of learning yet another hefty manual feels like unpaid overtime. It did not put a foot wrong at the table; it moved along pleasantly enough that nobody felt the night had been squandered.

But by the fourth play I was already growing tired of it. It is neither a failure nor a chore; I simply never found the small pull that would make me reach for it again while so many other boxes wait on the shelf. Lowlands is a perfectly decent choice for a quiet evening, but for me it never became more than that.

    EPOS: A Gentes Game gives the much-loved Gentes a modest polish and a campaign of scenarios that seems ready to pull it in fresh directions. Its one serious demand is a properly organised box.

  • Review Cold War: CIA vs KGB

    Cold War: CIA vs KGB is not the last word in games about its subject. But for a child trying to understand a war with no famous battlefield attached, it is a gentle and useful place to begin.

  • Review Propolis

    Propolis is a fresh, light city builder with pleasing resource management and the good sense to finish in under an hour. It offers enough shape to feel satisfying without asking for an entire evening.
