The best of the best Terraforming Mars – On initial play I wasn’t the greatest of fans of this one, despite it sitting in the Top 5 of BGG. Then I didn’t play it for a long time, before coming back to it solo, and what a decision that was! The game is so easy […]
Designer: Sergio Halaban and Andre Zatz Players: 3-5 Ages: Publisher: 14+ We think: 6-8+ Playtime: Publisher: 60min We think: 30-45mins I have to admit, I have a bad habit of judging games by their cover (looking at you Great Western Trail), and that also applies to Sheriff of Nottingham – a game by CMON […]
