Abstract

Tiny Towns is more of a solitary experience, but it is a truly unique and enjoyable game that almost everyone will enjoy.

A detailed look at the rules for how to play the 2019 Alderac Entertainment Group city building game Tiny Towns designed by Peter McPherson.

Crystallized is an interesting abstract strategy game with some good ideas that fans of the genre will likely really enjoy, even if I found it to be a little boring.

Kingdomino Origins shares quite a bit in common with the original game, but it adds a number of fun and interesting twists to create its own experience that is really fun.

Mastermind 44 is an interesting twist on the original game improving upon it in some ways, but also having some of its own issues.

At times Block Ness feels a little random, but the game does a good job creating a game that is simple and interesting that the whole family can enjoy.

Dominique is not a fantastic game, but it genuinely surprised me with some interesting ideas for a tile laying game.

River Dragons can be a little too cutthroat at times, but the game deserves credit for an original idea that the whole family can enjoy.

The Game of Squares is a solid abstract game that is both easy to play and yet has a decent amount of hidden strategy, but it doesn’t really justify being made into a physical board game.

Photosynthesis: Under the Moonlight is what you should expect out of an expansion as it adds some interesting new mechanics to the game without interfering with what made the original so enjoyable in the first place.
