Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/8964384/fliptoons Designers: Jordy Adan, Renato SimõesPublisher: Thunderworks GamesArtist: Diego Sá The first (and potentially most important) thing you need to know about me is that I’m generally not a huge deckbuilding fan. There are definitely exceptions to this rule, but overall, they’re typically not games I gravitate towards. However, the artwork in…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/6652396/isle-of-trains-all-aboard Designers: Seth Jaffee, Dan KeltnerPublisher: Dranda GamesArtist: Denis Martynets I’m not going to lie, we aren’t big train game people; this honestly may be our only train game besides Ticket to Ride. Regardless, this is a great addition to our collection! It’s pretty thematic, as you are building a train and…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/8107991/beacon-patrol-ships-and-shores Designer: Torben RatzlaffPublisher: Pandasaurus GamesArtist: Torben Ratzlaff Since you can read my previous review on the base game of Beacon Patrol, I won’t cover anything except what’s new and exciting in this expansion, and how it works as a solo player. So, what’s new? This expansion adds a plethora of new,…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/7439416/beacon-patrol Designer: Torben RatzlaffPublisher: Pandasaurus GamesArtist: Torben Ratzlaff Beacon Patrol is a chill, fun, simple, puzzly tile laying game themed around the ocean, islands, lighthouses, and buoys. The theming is enjoyable, and the art is pleasant and fits the vibe of the game. While not being particularly innovative, the mechanics are familiar…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/6158972/halls-of-hegra Designer: Petter Schanke OlsenPublisher: Tompet GamesArtists: Jog Brogzin, Joeri Lefevre Looking at our collection, we don’t have many true, historical, war themed games besides Twilight Struggle, which is more of a political game than war game anyway. So, needless to say, this one was a little outside our comfort zone, but…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/9329057/enchanted-ivy Designer: Sarah JoshuaPublisher: AllplayArtists: Snow Conrad, Wenyi Geng I’m starting this one off with a hot take: this game is very good and has many strengths and is quite fun, but I don’t think it’s as amazing as many reviews have advertised/made it out to be.

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/8249526/witchdom Designer: Michal PeichlPublisher: AlbiArtist: Veronika Vondrová Witchdom is a cute, light set collection game about witches and brewing potions. I played two ways solo; as two independent witches (essentially a two-player game) and I also tried the true solo mode where the player faces off against Ostara. Right off the bat,…

Image taken from https://boardgamegeek.com/image/9225195/honeypot Designer: Joseph Z. ChenPublisher: Flatout Games, AEGArtist: Kwanchai Moriya Honeypot is an “I stack you choose” game that reminds me of Devious (2026 release by Glenn Cotter, Smirk & Dagger Games). I learned to play solo first then was teaching the husband and caught myself saying “just like in Devious” on…
