Review: Leviathan Wilds

I’ve been on a bit of a co-operative kick recently, and Leviathan Wilds stood head-and-shoulders above the competition by virtue of its unending charm and bounty of ideas. It’s a really simple, slick little design that gets people into the fray immediately, but messes around with its own systems with the glee of a child cramming their mouth with pick-n-mix.

To put it simply… it slaps.

How to Play – Wilmot’s Warehouse

In Wilmot’s Warehouse, your team will work cooperatively to organize the warehouse, using memory, imagination, and silly stories you make up.

DRAW product tiles off the stack, DISCUSS what they look like, and PLACE them somewhere youʼll remember!

After you place each tile, you flip it over and canʼt look at it again until the end of the game.
So your team has to remember where youʼve placed previous tiles as you decide where to place new ones.

At the end of the game, in a 5-minute rush, your team will have to match all 35 face down tiles with customer cards. Consult your performance review to see how well you did!

Review: Forest Shuffle

Sometimes a great game knocks us off our feet and has us scrambling to immediately script & film a video – other times it’s a slow burn, with our love for a box growing a little more slowly! Forest Shuffle is a game that we just kept coming back to, and it’s about time we gave it the time – and the spotlight – it deserves!

A HOT SUMMER UPDATE FROM SU&SD

We’ve been really really busy over these last few months – in some cases you’ll be able to see why (ARCSSSSSS) – and in some cases you’ll see why in The Near Future!

Loads of exciting stuff we’ve been working on is planned for the coming months, but in the meantime we’ve allowed Tom to run off into the wilds for a little rest. To everyone who supports all that we do: THANK YOU. Even though obviously nobody should be supporting that painting.

Arcs’ Campaign is the Ultimate Space Opera

This is where the madness lies. Base game Arcs is a really sleek and sharp bit of design – but its ginormous campaign expansion, The Blighted Reach is the complete opposite. Every design impulse has been let loose on this one – a sprawling and decadent slab of day-long board game that’s unlike anything else I’ve played.

Enjoy!
