Dead Man's Hand: Box Cover Front
Rating: 3/5

Dead Man’s Hand Review

Dead Man's Hand brings wild west thrills and tense showdowns. While the theme shines, luck can frustrate serious strategists. Still, I had plenty of laughs and gunfights with my friends around the table!

Entrapment: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4/5

Entrapment Review

Entrapment hooks you with sneaky traps, chunky tiles, and a race to outsmart your buddies. It’s clever, quick, and mostly fair—unless you’re as unlucky as me and still fall into your own trap. Oops.

Kazaam: Box Cover Front
Rating: 3.8/5

Kazaam Review

Kazaam looks fantastic and gets everyone laughing, but sometimes the luck swings harder than my Aunt Edna at bingo. If you like chaos and shouting, you’ll have a blast, but don’t expect perfect balance.

Rating: 4.3/5

Leyte Gulf Naval Chess Game Review

Chess Game 2 Player is a classic that tests your brain, patience, and maybe your friendships. Simple rules, zero luck, and endless replay, but be warned—the learning curve is steeper than my cat’s back when I say 'bath.'

Kingmaker Review

Kingmaker turned my quiet game night into a medieval brawl. Expect chaos, shifting alliances, and the odd betrayal—like when Dave crowned a sheep King. Not for sore losers, but perfect if you enjoy scheming and a little mayhem.

Chess is the game where I finally learned my brain isn’t as sharp as I thought. With every match, you’ll outsmart or out-blunder your friends—no dice, just pure mind battles. It’s a classic for a reason.

Rating: 3.8/5

Grand Prix Review

Grand Prix delivers fast-paced racing fun, great for competitive groups. But if you hate dice luck or losing to your grandma, it might drive you mad! I laughed, I cursed, I definitely yelled "vroom" too much.

Daybreak: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4.5/5

Daybreak Review

Daybreak surprised me with its clever teamwork and real-world climate woes. We laughed, we argued, we nearly lost Antarctica—but kept coming back for more. It’s a co-op game that’s actually fun, not just homework with dice.
