    Step into the picturesque streets of Paris where, in the name of art, you will embark on romantic escapades, seek inspiration, and try to keep your life from turning into misery. Step into the shoes of a struggling bohemian artist trying to make a name for yourself; your head full of dreams, but your belly empty. You romanticize poverty and reject the norms of conventional society to achieve artistic freedom, aiming to change the world through your work. Will you attain fame or be forgotten by history?

    This is the premise behind Bohemians, designed by Jasper de Lange (Art Society). First published in 2025 by Portal Games in an English edition. The artwork is handled by Hanna Kuik (Neuroshima Hex, Imperial Miners), Roman Kucharski (Imperial Settlers, Overbooked), and Tomasz Jędruszek (Tyrants of the Underdark, Dominion).

  • Review: Echoes of Time

    In an uncharted fantasy realm, four factions govern the fundamental domains of the world: the abyssal depths of the dark waters; the rolling hills, windswept and sheltered by ancient forests; the endless, boundless night skies; and the subterranean tunnels, shrouded in shadows and untold secrets. A primal energy flows quietly through these lands, gathering in hidden fonts of boundless power. Whoever manages to master them will be capable of bending the most relentless force of all, time, and the cadence it dictates upon nature, existence… and life itself. Gather the wisest, bravest, and most prepared fellowship, equip yourself with the right artifacts, and get ready to fight for control over the sources of power. Only those who can manipulate the flow of time will stay one step ahead of their rivals.

    This is the premise behind Echoes of Time, designed by Simone Luciani (Grand Austria Hotel, Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar) and Roberto Pellei (Pigeon Explosion). First published in 2025 by Cranio Creations in an English edition, the artwork is handled by Giovanni Calore in his debut work within the board game industry.

    A new day dawns, and with it, our resources continue to dwindle. So much so that we have decided to break camp and explore the surrounding lands to ensure our survival. Whether along the bend of a river or deep in the heart of the mountains, we will search for the resources we lack. As we forge ahead on our journey through forests and deserts, we will keep the precious fire burning to warm us and light our way. Facing the mounting pressure of neighboring tribes, we will stand firm and fight to continue writing our story.

    This is how we are introduced to Dewan, designed by Johannes Goupy (Faraway, Pixies) and Yoann Levet (Turing Machine, Myrmes). It was first published in 2025 by Space Cowboys in a bilingual English and French edition. The artwork is by Arthus Pilorget, marking his debut in the board game industry.

    If we manage to keep our garden healthy and diverse, it will fill with life and become a sanctuary for fascinating creatures. Hummingbirds and bees are the first to arrive, filling the air with color and movement. But if we stop to take a closer look, we will discover a hidden, unknown world: tiny inhabitants abound among the mushrooms, puddles, and foliage. They live right under our feet, going unnoticed… until we decide to look Under the Leaves.

    This is how Under the Leaves presents itself, a design by Trevor Benjamin and Brett J. Gilbert (Great Plains, Mandala). First published in 2025 by Fractal Games in an English and Spanish edition. The illustrations are handled by Paulina Victoria (Mahé, Big or Bang).
