Review

Monopoly Man is a wild ride of chance, cash, and chaos. It’s great for laughing with friends, but if you hate dice luck, you’ll want to flip the board faster than someone passes Go.

Moonrakers: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4/5

Moonrakers Review

Moonrakers mixes deck-building, slick art, and wild negotiating. I laughed, I schemed, I occasionally regretted trusting my friends. Great for sci-fi fans who love chaos—just bring your poker face and a forgiving heart.

WildLife Review

Wildlife packs fun animal fights and clever moves, but luck sometimes steals the spotlight. The bits look great, just watch out for flimsy cards if you play like my clumsy friend Dave.

Rating: 3.3/5

COLORS Review

Colors is the kind of game that turns picking colors into a battle of wits—if your wits are slightly distracted and possibly eating snacks. Fast, fun, but luck can make you question your life choices.

Frenzy: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4/5

Frenzy Review

Frenzy throws you into total chaos, where speed and shouting win the day. It’s wild fun if you like energy and mayhem, but strategy fans might leave the table grumpy. Still, it’s hard not to laugh.

Captive Review

Captive throws you into a tense rescue story where your choices really matter. Between the branching paths and moody artwork, I felt hooked—even if a few puzzles left me scratching my head (and muttering rude words).

Insider: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4/5

Insider Review

Insider turns you into a detective, a liar, or both. I laughed, doubted my friends, and blamed the cat for bad guesses. Fast, sneaky, and tons of replay value—just watch out for that one friend who always suspects everyone.

Claim Review

Claim is a fast card game with funny art and wacky powers. Great for quick laughs, but luck loves to throw a wrench in your plans. Fun, but not for serious strategists!

Sonora Review

Sonora is a wild mix of flicking fun and clever planning. It’s more skill than luck, with bright art and lots of replay. Just watch out for flying discs—my cat still hasn’t forgiven me.

Airlines: Box Cover Front
Rating: 4.3/5

Airlines Review

Airlines is a fast-paced board game where you fight for routes, squeeze out profits, and sabotage your friends with style. The rules are clear, luck is low, and game night drama is sky-high. You'll come back for more.
