This game is something special that shouldn't work…but it does. Players try to play their cards from lowest to highest, on the table on a single deck. You cannot talk with others so you can only follow your instinct if it's your turn or not.
Publisher: NorthStar Game Studio
Players: 3-8
Playing Time: 2 minutes
Mechanisms: Simultaneous Action Selection
I heard only bad things from gamers about this one. So I was avoiding it for a long time. What a mistake.
This game is fun if you have players that can relax a bit and have some laughs. We played it with kids, with gamers, with family and everybody loved it.
Publisher: CMON
Players: 1-4
Playing Time: 40 minutes
Mechanisms: Cooperative Game, Hand Management, Variable Player Powers
Sleeves: TCG 63,5x88mm,
This is a cooperative game with a very easy rule set… which can make you think that the game is very easy. It can be, but with so many expansions there are bosses that will need a few tries and some specific combination of heroes.
It's not a game that is played all the time but when it hits the table, it always stays for some 3-4 plays at least as it is so quick and players want to try new heroes and new villains.
Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
Players: 2-6
Playing Time: 180 minutes
Mechanisms: Area Movement, Dice Rolling, Team-Based Game
Sleeves: MUS 41x63mm, STN 57,5x89mm
This game is old.. and you can feel it just by reading the rulebook. But if you are a fan of WOW and you want to get some nice vanilla feeling, there is no better board game out there.
The leveling up in this game is done right. It's one of the best there is. It makes the game go long but the difference between a level 1 character and a level 5 is huge. You really feel like a hero that spent hours leveling up and collecting new gear.
Publisher: Devir
Players: 1-4
Playing Time: 80 minutes
Mechanisms: Area Majority, Contracts, Rondel
Sleeves: MEU 45x68mm
I couldn't belive that such a small box can contain so much game. I love big productions.. but I would trade many big boxes for such a meaty game.
Every decision matters... a big game in a small box. Buidling cathedrals was never this fun.
Publisher: Nauvoo Games
Players: 1-6
Playing Time: 60-90 minutes
Mechanisms: Simultaneous Action Selection, End Game Bonuses, Variable Player Powers
Sleeves: MEU 45x68mm, STN 57,5x89mm
This game is as beautiful as it is interesting. Players create combos from robots that give them resources that will create more combos. Add to this, that you have to read what your opponents' plans are to get some free actions.. and you have a meaty game that won't let you relax for a second.
Publisher: CMON
Players: 1-4
Playing Time: 60 minutes
Mechanisms: Cooperative Game, Bag Building, Campaign Game
Sleeves: S70 70x70mm
A massive cooperative story telling game that kept us playing each weekend for months. I never saw my wife so invested in a game as this one. The story is great, the decisions matter and the gameplay is interesting.
Publisher: Schmidt Spiele
Players: 2-4
Playing Time: 45 minutes
Mechanisms: Bag Building, Push your Luck,
Sleeves: USA 56x87mm
Push your luck at it's best. You have the fate in your hands… but will you listen to the math or will you ask lady luck for one more favor (probably the 10th this game already)? There will be a lot of cursing and laughter at the same table.. just on the different sides of it.
