Pendragon: The Fall of Roman Britain

Pendragon: The Fall of Roman Britain is every bit as weighty as its reputation suggests, but the effort pays off in a deeply engaging and enjoyable game.

Pendragon: The Fall of Roman Britain is not the sort of game that casually finds its way onto a table, and when we finally managed it, there was barely time to spare. It is as heavy as the rumours say; the kind of box that asks for space, time, and a little of the patience one usually saves for a Tuesday after work.

Still, it earns that effort. Beneath the weight is a game that proved thoroughly enjoyable and genuinely interesting: not light relief, but the sort that keeps you properly present at the table. Quietly excellent, provided you give it the chance it asks for.

    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.
