  • Review: High Moon

    In Death Valley, the best time to take your skeletal cows out to pasture is on full moon nights, when dark magic reigns across the desert. You will step into the shoes of a spectral rancher (if specters even have skin, that is), whose goal is to establish cattle routes to supply the region’s main distilleries, where the finest alcohol-free spirits made from bovine ectoplasm are crafted.

    This is the premise of High Moon, the first published design by Antonio Guillamó “Guilla”. Released for the first time in 2025 by Combo Games in a trilingual Spanish, French, and English edition following a crowdfunding campaign on Verkami. The illustrations were created by Pablo Sanz (1212 Las Navas de Tolosa).

  • Review: March of the Ants

    With the arrival of spring, the great thaw begins. Deep within the sprouting meadow grass, the queen stirs in her nest, and the colony comes to life. Soldiers venture out, battling centipedes and clashing with rival colonies for territory. Workers dig an ever-expanding network of tunnels in their tireless search for food. The first larvae hatch, and it becomes clear that this generation will be different: young colonies evolve rapidly into a multitude of new forms. The ants march to claim the meadow as their own!

    This is how we are presented with March of the Ants, a design by Tim Eisner (Wonderland Wars, Canopy) and Ryan Swisher. First published in 2015 by Weird City Games in an English version following a successful crowdfunding campaign. In 2025, the publisher released the Evolved Edition, also after a crowdfunding campaign. The illustrations for this latest version are handled by Ana Gabriela Gatchalian-David, E. “Alder” Doveton, and Mr. Cuddington.
