…decks of buildings, each with their personal flavour, and expansions have since offered two more. Hopefully, more will come because Nusfjord is a very attractive game of coming up with combos of buildings and more variety is always good in a game like this. Caverna: Cave vs Cave (2017) This is the small-box version of…
I got a copy of Margin for Error, the first game from Sagely Games, to test. Unfortunately I can’t see myself having an opportunity to test the game in near future, so I thought I’d write a bit of a preview based on the rules. The game is familiar enough, so I’m quite confident of…
…it’s quite possible the game just doesn’t fit your group. My verdict: Dungeon Rush is a fine example of a challenging genre. I’ve always enjoyed all sorts of speed games, pattern recognition challenges and reaction tests, but they are always really, really hard to get on the table.

…played since and I know the situation where Werewolf works doesn’t come often, but when the situation comes, I’m glad I know Werewolf. This list could go further, but I’m stopping here.

…by asking and answering questions: “how often you come here?”, “what are you wearing on your feet?”, “what was for lunch today?” and so on. The spy needs to come up with convincing answers, which is made easier by the need for the other players to avoid giving the spy clues. Stressful, but in a…
…components and the boards. All in all, while the game is expensive, the components do make it feel like a proper big game. That said, I would’ve preferred more lowkey components, a smaller box and lower price – but more about that later. What do you do in the game? In the middle of the…
Bruno Faidutti has a new website, The Games of Bruno Faidutti. It’s basically what he had before, but there’s new stuff and some nice improvements. The layout isn’t optimal, it seems to be a bit too wide, but at least the content is good. It’s good to see Faidutti producing new game reviews, that’s for…
