The Battle of Five Armies Review
The Battle of Five Armies turns Middle-earth into a tense tug-of-war. Clever powers and sharp map play create great stories, though lucky dice and a long session may test your fellowship.
Rating: 3.8/5
Catan Review
Catan Universe makes trading feel like a friendly auction where everyone secretly wants your brick. Smart deals and planning matter, but dice luck can still wreck your grand plans. Fun, flawed, and best with three players.
Rating: 3.8/5
V-Wars Review
V-Wars serves up tense vampire brawls, sharp faction powers, and enough chaos to make every turn sweat. Luck sometimes grabs the wheel, but the theme keeps the table buzzing long after someone loses their last human.
Rating: 4/5
Altitude Review
Altitude rewards smart planning without turning every turn into a maths exam. Luck adds spice, but clever choices usually win. After several games with friends, I found it tense, fair, and just chaotic enough to keep everyone grinning.
Rating: 3.8/5
Dragon Quest Review
Dragon Quest serves up fun battles, varied quests, and satisfying hero growth. Luck adds spice without stealing the show, though the game can feel a little samey after many plays. A cheerful adventure with enough charm to earn a spot on the shelf.
Rating: 4/5
Upstream Review
Upstream turns a salmon run into a clever race of timing, growth, and gentle sabotage. The river keeps moving, your fish keep eating, and your friends keep blocking the best route. Rude, but wonderfully fun.
Rating: 3.8/5
The Fog of War Review
The Fog of War rewards calm plans, sneaky bluffs, and friends who enjoy second-guessing every move. Its rules take a little work, but once they click, each turn feels tense, clever, and wonderfully mean.
Rating: 4/5
Ambush! Review
Ambush! turned our table into a tense war movie. Every patrol felt dangerous, every choice mattered, and even a lucky shot never stole control from the player.
Rating: 3.8/5
Cobra Review
Cobra mixes wooden snake stacking with hidden player colours. Examine the bluffing, dexterity risk and scoring interests behind its unusual design.
