Mini Rogue (There Will Be Games): “This is one of the best values in games today and a great example of how designers could be doing more to innovate and explore in the small box/minimal component category.”

Share and Sparkle Unicorns (The Game Aisle): “The play is sweet and simple and as my child proved to me during play testing, it’s enjoyable to play with even when you’re not playing the game. Pulling gems from the bag feels like a surprise and the satisfaction of looking at your completed unicorn makes Share and Sparkle Unicorns a winner.”
