Friday review

Designer: Friedemann Friese Players: 1 Ages: 12+ Play time: 25 Min I prefer my gaming on the heavier side, or if not heavy at least games that can be enjoyed with others. Some of my favourite solo games are Clans of Caledonia and the 7th Continent, and I love the depth of games like Gaia […]

Architects of the West Kingdom review
