Opera Is Danger

Last year’s The Battle of Versailles was a revelation, treating the world of high fashion as seriously as combat, and in the process teaching me something about an art form I’d always regarded as frivolous. Here’s a piece of good news: apparently…
That Wizard Came from the Moon

Fabio! Lopiano! Truly, he has the most pronounceable name in the entire hobby. I’m something of a provisional fan, after being impressed with Merv but mixed on Autobahn and Sankoré, both of which proved too overwrought for their own good. Shackleton Base,…
Into the Woodland(ers)

All I play anymore is trick-takers. Okay, that isn’t wholly true anymore. It seems the trick-taking bubble has, if not burst, levitated a few meters off the ground. Still, another title from New Mill Industries, this one designed by proprietor Daniel…
Stuck in the Midden with You

The oldest known evidence of human habitation on the Orkney Islands, the archipelago off the northern coast of Scotland, is a charred hazelnut shell and some thousands of flint fragments, variously dated to either the seventh or eighth millennium BCE.…
Cyclades Nuts

Cyclades. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Except, of course, I’ve heard it plenty. How could I not? Cyclades, along with Kemet and Inis, was the first member of Matagot’s unholy trinity, the gods-on-a-map game that urged the genre in a…
It’s Vibin’ Time

Perhaps the most appreciable thing about Xoe Allred’s work is that it’s so very human. Yes, even when we’re talking about dinosaurs who would rather play board games than face their impending extinction in Velocirapture, and certainly when considering the…
Categorize My Thing Thing

You can tell that a designer is crushing it when I start mentally checking other games against theirs. Case in point, Jasper Beatrix — a design collective, not a singular person — has now crafted one of my favorite word games in Typeset, one of my favorite…
Oh Friend Ah

Published: May 21, 2025 03:05
Everything I know about ofrendas I either learned from Coco or Spectre. Okay, it isn’t as bad as all that — twenty-five years ago, I also played Grim Fandango. Regardless, it’s fair to say that I was eager to learn more from Orlando Sá and André Santos’s…
Whispers-in-Leaves

Published: May 14, 2025 21:52
It isn’t often that we can say that a board game has great sound design. When it comes to Corvids, another small-box offering from the creative collective Jasper Beatrix, that’s possibly my favorite thing about the entire game. This one is about birds…

How has it come to this? You’ve lost your house. Your family. The bank has issued a repo order on your car. Credit cards? Forget about it. You’re the first person in your state to hold a credit score below 300. Thank goodness you still have a few bucks in…
