Reviews
Reykholt (TableTop Gaming): “Another gentle winner from a Eurogaming giant, which enjoys more depth than Rosenberg’s recent tile-laying trio, but is lighter and quicker than his big worker-placement classics.”

King’s Forge (I Play Red): “The choices of when and where to use your dice make for interesting game play and mean you never really end up with the wrong dice as there’s always a way to use them and you always know what items need crafting next meaning you can always be prepared.”

Pandemic: Fall of Rome (iSlaytheDragon): “Just know that Fall of Rome doesn’t significantly change up the Pandemic formula, and whether or not you’ll love it depends on your appreciation of the theme, your tolerance for dice-based combat, and whether or not the added complexity and time is a problem for you.”
