Reviews
Indiana Jones: Sands of Adventure (coopgestalt): “Your first play is so dynamic and fun, you might give it an 8.5/10 out of the gate because it’s so quick and fun and cool! You will probably calm a little and drop it to a 7/10 or less after a while just because the game arc doesn’t change.”

Blob Party (Board Game Gumbo): “Blog Party has been able to create moments where everybody laughs or groans in just fifteen to thirty minutes. With a game of this length and depth, it’s hard to play just one round and much easier to play a few games back-to-back, especially at the end of the game night.”

A Fake Artist Goes to New York (There Will Be Games): “As a social deduction game, A Fake Artist Goes to New York does require quite a lot of players. That's unavoidable and made it quite hard for me to get it to the table. However, it's perfect for family gatherings or playing down the pub with your friends.”
