Birth of a Nation Review
Birth of a Nation nails its theme and gets most history right. You’ll plot, scheme, and maybe yell at your friends—just like real history—but with much better snacks. Watch out for the odd clunky rule or two.
Strategy
These games focus on planning, resource management, and decision-making. Examples include “Catan,” “Risk,” and “Twilight Struggle.”
Rating: 3.8/5
King of New York Review
King of New York is wild, loud, and loaded with flashy monster fights. If you like dice and unpredictable chaos, it's a blast. But if you prefer deep strategy, you might want to look elsewhere for your city-smashing fix!
Rating: 4.3/5
New Haven Review
New Haven had us trading tiles, blocking pals, and arguing over forests like we're city planners with a grudge. If you want strategy with a hint of chaos, pack your builder’s hat. Just don’t wear it at the table.
Rating: 4/5
Rainbow Review
Rainbow is bursting with gorgeus colors and quick turns, but watch out—luck can trip up your best plans. Still, it's a fun, light choice for families who don't mind a bit of chaos and laughter.
Rating: 4.3/5
Stacked Review
Stacked had me sweating over every block. One wrong move and my tower looked like my life—wobbly! It’s quick, silly, and rewards smart play, though the tiny rule card made me feel like a giant.
Rating: 3.3/5
Maze Review
Maze got my group shouting, laughing, and glaring suspiciously at Kevin (again). It’s quick to setup, fun to play, but luck sometimes throws you a curveball. Still, I’d play again—just maybe without Kevin’s "creative interpretations".
Rating: 4/5
Venice Review
Venice lets you steer gondolas, dodge scandals, and scheme your way to the top. It's fast and clever, though the luck makes me twitchy. Still, for fans of sneaky strategy, it's a real splash.
Rating: 4.3/5
The Pursuit of Happiness Review
If you ever wanted to pack a whole life into one evening (without taxes or cavities), The Pursuit of Happiness is your game. Plenty of laughs, some real choices, and only a little luck messing things up!
Rating: 3.8/5
Inferno Review
"Inferno" offers a scorching strategy experience with engaging art. Player interaction is intense, but sometimes luck overshadows skill. Despite this, the game remains fun, perfect for those who love unpredictable twists.
Rating: 4.5/5
Talon Review
Talon is a strategic space game with thrilling player interaction and stunning modular boards. The ships, though basic, still promise endless replayability. Perfect for those who appreciate tactics over luck.
