5 MORE Great Small Games!
Games! Games! Games! It’s the small ones that usually slip through the cracks, so Tom’s back with another roundup of recent favourites!
Joraku and Bottle Imp fill the trick-taking quota for the video, whilst Naishi and Iliad present a bit of two-player tension. Bean Counters Inc is also there, because he’s a goofy guy and we love him.

This week we’ve got a review of 3 Chapters – a small-box trick-taker with more twists than you’d expect. Save that Dragon for late? Spec heavy into Peter Pan? Go witch or go home? Enjoy the video!

Royalty! Crowns! Betrayals! Horses!
In this dramatically thorough video, Tom is taking a long hard look at ‘The Old King’s Crown’ – perhaps the greatest game to be released this year?
As gorgeous to look at as it is phenomenal to play, we’ve been collectively smitten by this one since first we flipped one of its tarot-sized-terrors. Get a big mug of something mean*, settle into your throne, and let us regale you with many a tale of betrayal…

Pop an elf on a dwarf, sit back, and ENJOY.

Review: Innovation
This week, Tom’s been wrestling Innovation – perhaps the most peculiar deck of cards money can buy. Trying to play ‘Hearts’ with this badboy will surely get you removed from the function. 110 cards of human history, crammed into a box the size of a “not very big box”! What more could you want?
Read MorePlayte Games Review
It’s the return of the video podcast! As pioneers of the format, we felt a burden to perfect the ‘difficult second album’ – and we think the results speak for themselves. It’s a podcast, with video! Literally what more could you possibly ever want.
Tom and Matt have played a bundle of great games from South Korean publisher ‘Playte’ and whacked them all into a silly video. We hope you enjoy it!
