Endeavor: Deep Sea puts you in charge of a research vessel exploring the ocean both on the surface and at increasing depths. Recruit specialists, publish your research, and perform conservation activities while you are at it. This game has been on my wish list since it hit the Hotness. It checked a lot of boxes. […]
Im Kinderspiel Kroko Loko schlüpfst du in die Rolle eines Krokodils, das seinen unbändigen Hunger stillen möchte und dadurch Stück für Stück in die Länge wächst. Doch die Tiere, die es fressen möchte, verstecken sich vor dem Krokodil. Wer sich am besten merken kann, wo die Tiere sich versteckt haben, kann sie sich schnappen, wird am Ende […]
ANTS stand eigentlich nicht auf meiner Einkaufsliste. Doch dann spielte meine Frau es auf der SPIEL25 an, kam strahlend zurück und erzählte von der unerwartet befriedigenden Engine, die sich über mehrere Runden organisch entfaltet.

Tierwesen mit mechanischer Begabung, die aus Zahnrädern, Stahl und Energiekristallen eine von Propellern in der Luft getragene Insel bauen? Ja, gut, warum nicht? Wir Brettspielerinnen und Brettspielern sind ja so einiges an Themenwelten gewöhnt und wenn es in Propeller Island halt nun das sein soll: Dann bitte! Genauso gut wie jedes andere Thema! Dass das Thema dieses […]
Neko Syndicate had me at cat clans. The premise is that a feline-led organized crime clan is vying to take over the sushi trade in Japan. Anyone who has spent any time around cats knows they are diabolical. Cute. But diabolical. Cats are furry little overlords who demand our attention, food, and devotion; on their […]

Foundations of Rome is one of my top 5 board games of all time, and I love Frostpunk both in digital format and the board game adaptation.
