Crowdfunding lets game creators bring their ideas to life with the help of the community. Players chip in through platforms like Kickstarter or Gamefound and get a copy of the game and often some fun extras in return. It’s a great way for fans to be part of a project from the start till the end.
Some of our (p)reviews are Timeless Journeys, Pest and Movers & Shakers
Burnout – Surviving Office Life
I think most of us have had at least one job that slowly drained the life out of us. Endless meetings, strange management decisions, somebody replying “per my last email” like it’s a threat… Burnout takes that feeling and turns it into a board game. In Burnout, players are employees competing for a promotion while…
Gazebo – Reiner Knizia Builds a Garden, Then Lets You Fight Over It
Reiner Knizia again. You kind of have an idea of what you’re getting… but I was still curious how this one would feel. It looks like a calm little garden game. Flowers, water, nice colors… you know the type. Something you put on the table when you don’t want anything too heavy. But after a…
Yotei – A Town Builder Where Potatoes Run the Economy
At the foot of Mt. Yotei in Hokkaido, life changes with the seasons. Spring brings wildlife, summer brings food and activity, and winter turns the area into a snowy destination. In Yotei, you’re building a town in that setting, trying to decide what kind of place it becomes. Maybe you lean into farming, maybe tourism,…
Apex Carnivore – A Small Deckbuilder About Survival
Nature can be rough. Animals adapt, species change, and sometimes things just disappear because they were not strong enough. Apex Carnivore takes that idea and turns it into a small head to head card game about evolution. In this game you start with a shared ancestor and slowly evolve your species into something stronger. Maybe…
Sibille – Majority Battles And Mind Games
When I first heard about Sibille, I expected something very thematic and maybe a bit fluffy. Tarot cards, fortune tellers, Enlightenment salons… it sounded like one of those games where the table looks amazing and the gameplay is just kind of there. But that’s not what it is. In Sibille you play as a fortune…
Perch: Birds of Play – Small Modules, Noticeable Impact
Birds of Play is a modular expansion for Perch. What you get are three small add-ons that you can use separately or all together. Think of it as the same game, just with a few extra things to worry about. Setup is almost the same as usual. You mix in the new objective cards that…
Inferno 1348 – So… Florence Has Rats Now
If you already thought Inferno was intense, well… it can get worse. In a good way. Or at least in a way that makes you sit up a bit straighter. Inferno 1348 is a modular expansion. You can add one part, the other part, or both, depending on how much extra weight you want that…
Lodge – A Hotel Shaped By Its Guests
If you’ve ever imagined owning a cozy mountain hotel where everything runs perfectly, Lodge is here to gently ruin that dream. In the nicest way. It looks bright and welcoming, but underneath it’s a puzzle about space, timing, and guests who are… let’s say very specific about their preferences. At first glance it feels light.…
Ancient Empires – Decisions That Come Back Around
Big empires don’t just appear out of nowhere. They usually start small, make a few solid decisions, survive a couple of bad ones, and somehow keep going. Ancient Empires tries to capture how that actually plays out. You begin as a tribe, not much to your name, and over time you slowly shape something that…
Stamp Showdown – Building Poker Hands Without Much Privacy
Stamp Showdown is a game where the theme sounds very polite, but the table experience ends up being a bit sharper than you expect. You’re competing in a stamp exhibition, building a collection by trading cards through a shared market, and every so often you compare results to see who did best. That sounds friendly…
