A few months ago, Adrian released Battle Box: Napoleonic Wars, a clever little travel-friendly wargame with charming wooden components, variable battlefields, and a very accessible ruleset. I enjoyed the format a lot, even if the rules felt closer to a classic miniatures wargame than to some of the more elegant board wargame designs I personally gravitate toward.
But Age of Sail feels like a real step up. In a very small box, it manages to deliver a surprisingly rich naval wargame experience: four ships, tight manoeuvring, combat, scenario-driven asymmetry, and a smart card system that gives ships different statuses, damage effects, and special traits. It is compact, affordable, and much deeper than its tiny footprint suggests.
The Kickstarter campaign is in its final days, and I highly recommend checking it out.

We just played Manhattan last week with the original power plants and we enjoyed it so much and so many people were asking for another stream of it with the New Power Plants, we decided to run it back doing just that!
Enjoy our second play in as many weeks of this surprising hit of a map, Manhattan!
Step quietly into the shadows of feudal Japan in this review of Castle Nightingale by Sand Castle Games — a tense 2-player duel of stealth, deduction, and mind games. One player controls a clan of sneaky ninjas attempting to steal sacred relics from the castle, while the other plays a vigilant samurai hunting them through creaking nightingale floors and secret passages.
With hidden movement, asymmetric gameplay, and incredible tension packed into just 20–30 minutes, Castle Nightingale delivers a dramatic cat-and-mouse experience that feels like a tabletop stealth video game.
Is this one of the smartest hidden movement games of the year?
