Australia Review
Played 'Australia' with my pals and it was a blast! The mix of strategy with a splash of horror caught us off guard in a good way. Though luck can sway the game, it's mostly your cunning that leads to victory.

Bingo Review
Bingo, a classic game of luck, brings people together for laughs. Its simplicity shines, though it's heavy on luck. Great for quick, inclusive fun, but don't expect strategy. A solid 3.8 out of 5 from me.
Rating: 4.5/5
Amsterdam Review
Amsterdam is a blast for fans of clever plans and bidding wars. The art pops, the gameplay hooks you, and victory feels earned—unless you accidentally sell your tulips too cheap. Oops. Still, it's a keeper for strategy lovers!
Rating: 4/5
New York Review
If you want to feel clever while building the Big Apple (without smashing your friendships to bits), New York is your ticket. Just watch out for unexpected pizza-related disasters at the table. Trust me, it happens.
Rating: 3.5/5
Napoleon Review
Napoleon made us all feel like mini history buffs—with more arguing and less actual empire-building. Tense battles, neat maps, and just a pinch too much luck for my taste, but hey, it's no dice-chucking circus.
Rating: 4/5
Ohio Review
Ohio gives players smart choices, solid control, and enough replay value to keep game night fresh. Its components look good, though a few small flaws stop it from feeling perfect.
Rating: 4/5
*Star Review
Star blends bright space art with smart choices and just enough luck to keep things tense. My friends and I kept plotting, blocking, and yelling at cardboard. A strong pick for thoughtful game nights.
Rating: 4/5
Focus Review
Focus turns quiet clues into loud brain-bending moments. It rewards smart guesses, keeps luck on a short leash, and makes every card feel like a tiny friendship test. Just don’t blame me when your best mate becomes suspicious.
