FITS Board Game Review and Rules

March 20, 2020March 18, 2020 Eric Mortensen 0 Comments 2009, KniffDesign, Piotr Kania, Ravensburger, Reiner Knizia

Despite its reliance on luck and its low amount of scoring, FITS is a great abstract tile placement game and possibly the best board game adaptation of Tetris ever made.

Sudoku The Card Game Review and Rules

May 22, 2017April 6, 2017 Eric Mortensen 0 Comments 2006, Josh Cappel, Reiner Knizia, Z-Man Games

Sudoku The Card Game does a solid job turning the puzzle into a multiplayer card game but ends up relying too much on luck to be anything more than an average game.

While the game relies on guessing what cards the other players are going to go after, Money is still a very good game which blends accessibility with quite a bit of strategy.
