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.

Nippon: Genro – Add Political Influence to Your Zaibatsu
We’ve loved Nippon for a long time. Back when the original game released in 2015, it quickly became one of our favourite economic eurogames. It was simply a game where everything seemed to fit together. Building factories led to more production, production led to influence, influence led to scoring, and somehow every decision created a…
Luthier – Building More Than Instruments
When I first saw Luthier on the table, it was difficult to know where to look first. Instruments, patrons, performers, workshops, an orchestra running across the centre of the board… there is a lot going on. Underneath all of that, though, is a game about building a reputation as one of Europe’s most respected instrument…
Fluffypede – A Card Game of Plush Construction
The world of Fluffypede is built around this sudden obsession with giant fluffy plush creatures called Fluffypedes, and the whole thing feels just weird enough to immediately get your attention. You play as toymakers trying to stitch these creatures together while fighting over limited materials, changing builds, and scoring chances that can disappear one turn…
Spytails – When Winning the Trick Is Not Always Good
There are a lot of card games about spies, secret plans, and hidden information. Most of them say you should bluff and outplay each other. Spytails: Tactics in the Shadows is one of the few where our table actually started behaving differently after a couple of rounds. People became weirdly protective of certain cards. Somebody…
SHUG – A Social Fantasy Adventure Full of Strange Encounters
There are games where you sit there planning five turns ahead and trying to optimise every little move. Shug really doesn’t care much about that. This is a game where people argue with monsters, block roads out of spite, and settle rule discussions through something called “Shug Court”. That already tells you what kind of…
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…
