*Star Review
In *star, smart moves beat lucky rolls. The game looks pretty on the table and keeps players thinking till the end. Just watch out—one bad round doesn’t ruin you, but one good plan can win it all.
Strategy
These games focus on planning, resource management, and decision-making. Examples include “Catan,” “Risk,” and “Twilight Struggle.”
Rating: 4.5/5
Focus Review
Focus is a pure strategy game—no luck, just your brain and sneaky moves. Easy to learn but hours to master. Not for those who blame the dice. Storage is bad, but the gameplay? Top-notch fun!
Rating: 4/5
Delta Review
Delta is a clever mix of strategy and bird meeple beauty. I loved the planning and player interaction, but colorblind players beware those confusing tokens! Play it if you like brains over luck and enjoy a chunky bit of engine-building.
Rating: 4/5
Museum Review
Museum dazzles with great art and theme, but luck can trip up your plans. It’s fast to learn and fun with friends, though sometimes it feels like the card gods want you to open a potato exhibit instead.
Rating: 4/5
Goodwill Review
Goodwill packs clever trading and bluffing into a quick, chatty experience. Great for friends who love social games, but skip it if you hate negotiation or have trust issues from Monopoly.
Rating: 3.8/5
King Review
King makes you laugh, yell, and question your friendships—all in under an hour. Luck can crush your dreams, but plotting and alliances keep the game tense. Perfect for loud groups, but maybe skip if you hate chaos.
Rating: 3.8/5
California Review
California bursts with color and sunshine, blending easy rules and friendly competition. It's perfect if you want laughs, light strategy, and beach vibes—just expect a bit of luck with your tan lines. Deep thinkers, maybe skip the sunscreen.
Rating: 4.5/5
China Review
China keeps my friends on their toes every game night. Tight strategy, easy rules, and a map that makes you sweat—just watch out for sneaky moves! Great for brains, not for folks who want pure luck.
Rating: 4/5
Colorado Review
Colorado is a breezy card game where luck and sneaky choices rule. Quick to play, easy to teach, but sometimes it feels like your fate is in the deck’s hands, not yours.
Rating: 4/5
Yellowstone Review
Yellowstone packs gorgeous art and cheeky ranger moves, but sometimes the event cards swing harder than a bear after honey. Still, I had a blast, and it's a top pick for anyone who loves park adventures with laughs.
