Dolmen Review
Dolmen rewards clever planning without turning luck into the boss fight. Its tense choices, strong theme, and smooth play make it a fine pick for game night, even if the rulebook occasionally trips over its own feet.
Adventure/Narrative
These games focus on storytelling and immersion, often involving quests, character development, and exploration. Examples include “Gloomhaven,” “Tales of the Arabian Nights,” and “Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate.”
Rating: 4.5/5
Suzerain Review
Suzerain turns politics into a tense board game of hard choices. My friends and I argued over every vote, budget, and promise. Luck stays low, but the pressure stays high. I loved it, even when my country fell apart.
Rating: 4/5
Oliver Twist Review
If you like sneaky moves and outsmarting your pals, Oliver Twist gives you a few laughs and tense moments. Just don’t expect pure strategy—sometimes the dice giveth, sometimes the dice smack you right in the face.
Rating: 4/5
Paradise Lost Review
Paradise Lost is a feast for the eyes and a test for your deduction skills. Just beware: sometimes the dice decide if you’re clever or just lucky. Good for laughs, but strategy lovers might want their money back.

Review
If you like jump scares, eerie art, and yelling at your friends for opening the wrong door, horror games steam might just be your new game night hit—with only a few spooky flaws.
Rating: 4.3/5
Far Away Review
Far Away throws you and your buddy onto a wild alien planet where you literally can’t talk to each other. The missions are nuts, the creatures are strange, and every round tells a bizarre story. Not for the faint-hearted!
Rating: 3.5/5
The Cave Review
The Cave brings tense moments and laughs as you crawl blindly and hope your rope holds. Tile placement feels clever, but luck can mess with your plans. Still, I've never had a trip underground end without a good story.
Rating: 4.3/5
Metro 2033 Review
Metro 2033 plunges you into gritty, post-nuke Moscow. Expect tense alliances, backstabbing, and the odd bad luck meltdown. It’s not perfect, but if you crave theme and drama, it’s a ride worth hopping on.
Rating: 4.3/5
Dead Men Tell No Tales Review
Dead Men Tell No Tales drops you and your crew onto a burning pirate ship. You’ll juggle collapsing floors, brawling skeletons, and actual teamwork—because if you split up, you’re all toast. Bring your best pirate accent and nerves of steel.
Rating: 3.3/5
Sanctum Review
Sanctum made me feel like a demon-bashing hero, but without the endless rules-checking. It’s fast, fun, and rewards good planning. If only every game night was this action-packed (and didn’t end with me outsmarted by dice).
