7 Wonders Duel is the essential two player hobby game

Tropico 6 on Switch shines in handheld mode, but let’s leave it there…

Court of the Dead: Mourners Call weaves incredible lore into solid Ameritrash
Court of the Dead: Mourners Call is quite a mouthful — and at first glance, the box appears to be as large as the title. This is one of those huge box thematic games that results from a large Kickstarter, and even though the review copy…

In Montmartre, aspiring artists compete for the favour of discerning collectors
I have often found that art is an underutilised theme for board games, especially since good artwork is so critical to the presentation of games these days. The last art-themed game I played was the light eurogame Atelier, but now I’ve got…
