  • Review: Finspan – Sharks & Reefs

    Now you can Cultivate colorful Coral Reefs in each of the 3 Dive Sites in your Ocean. Healthy Reefs allow you to play powerful Reef Fish, unlock Abilities, and gain end-of-game bonuses. Meanwhile, Sharks scatter Fry Schools (to form more Schools elsewhere) and leave behind food scraps that any Fish in your Ocean can Consume.

    This is how Sharks & Reefs is presented to us, the first expansion for Finspan, designed by Michael O’Connell. First published in 2026 by Stonemaier Games in an English version. The artwork is provided by Ana María Martínez Jaramillo (Wingspan), Catalina Martinez, and Mesa Schumacher (Ecosystem).

  • Review: Sensu

    In Japan, the use of the Sensu—the folding fan—carries deep traditional significance: woe to anyone who confuses the wooden fans used in dance and theatre with the iron-ribbed war fans wielded by samurai! Gather the cards you need to craft your own fans using your wits, and always keep the key number of the challenge in mind: 15!

    This is the premise behind Sensu, designed by Enrico Vicario as his debut release. First published in 2023 by DV Games in a dual English and Italian edition. Illustrations are handled by Andrea Guerrieri (Green: The Golf Card Game, Atelier daVinci).

  • Review: President

    The party chairmanship has become vacant, and you have gathered to decide who will take over. Look closely around you, because even though you all belong to the same party, only one can seize power. In politics… anything goes!

  • Review: Tapestry

    Create the civilization with the richest history, from the dawn of humanity into the future. The path you choose will radically alter real-world history: your civilization will be unique and one of a kind!

    This is the premise of Tapestry, designed by Jamey Stegmaier (Scythe, Viticulture). First published in 2019 by Stonemaier Games in an English edition. The illustrations are handled by Andrew Bosley (Everdell) and Rom Brown.

  • Review: Forest Shuffle – Dartmoor – Exmoor

    The rugged landscape of Exmoor, with its steep cliffs and vast moors, is home to numerous plant and animal species. Rediscover familiar elements and discover new ones against the backdrop of this unique environment.

  • Review: Diluvium

    A long, long time ago, when our ancient civilization was in its golden age and myths and legends still walked among men, a cataclysm struck the world. The sea swallowed the land, leaving barely a few isolated archipelagos above its surface. Of the old and powerful empires, only those skilled in building ships capable of exploring the seas in search of the last emerged lands survived. You are the leaders of those civilizations in exile. You must establish new settlements, find food, and gather weapons to face the terrible creatures that still inhabit the islands.

    This is how Diluvium is presented to us, a design by Antoni Guillen (Monki, Mojo). First published in 2024 by Nuts! Publishing in an English and French version. Maud Chalmel (Take Time, Shamans) is in charge of the illustrations.
