This week we’ve got Matt dragging you through the lovely warm chunky delight that is Triqueta and Triqueta: Hidden Wolves – a quick and simple game with a slightly mean core. Stick around until the end for this one, there’s a SMALL chance we might have gotten carried away with some impromptu nonsense.

This expansion to Triqueta introduces a new type of animal: the friendly but shy wolves, who prefer to keep to the shadows. They step out from the shadows at the end of the game and are then worth a lot of points when forming a triqueta. However, since one of each other animal is also … Read more

Hey kids!! What’s cooler than distilling brine and harnessing geothermal energy… FOR POINTS! This week’s review is a slightly complicated love letter to the beautiful mundanity of crunchy economic games. Devir have put a huge amount of game into such a small box with Salton Sea, but can it stand up to the microscope of scrutiny?

Salton Sea is a unique place located in California, very close to the border with Mexico. The characteristics of this salty lake make it a unique location to generate geothermal energy, which takes advantage of the heat from the planet.
