Steam: Rails to Riches Emulates The Industrial Revolution’s Growth
The digital version of Martin Wallace’s acclaimed board game Steam: Rails to Riches, harkens players back to the Industrial Age of trains.
The Falconeer — Like a leaf on the Wind
Interestingly the campaign isn’t limited to any single perspective of the wider conflict at hand. Progression and experience allow you to switch to other viewpoints and allows you to see how events may have been interpreted from the…
Tools Up! — Chaotic decorating in wild houses
Tools Up! is a game I have previously played, albeit a few years back at Gamescom. The premise of the game is sort of like Moving Out, where you must quickly get into a house, but instead of moving furniture, you are looking to decorate the…
Awry has you juggle four heroes to quash a hypnotic final boss
Shift between four heroes in a tough showdown against a mind-controlling final boss in Awry. The four legendary heroes have made their way through the almost endless dungeon and are finally facing the creature behind all the recent terrors;…

Man and beast meet with deadly consequences in Matagot’s Raptor
I could think of more loveable heroine’s than the Velociraptor, yet there’s something about Bruno Cathala and Bruno Faidutti’s Raptor that invokes a primal instinct to protect, and leaves the players in no doubt about who the bad guys are.…
Tsuro — The Digital Game of the Path
Right off the bat, Tsuro looks really nice. You’re presented with a desert-like patch of sand with a copy of the board game on it that you are instructed to open, resulting in the game board unfolding and the pieces being placed onto it.…
