Kohaku (Gaming With Sidekicks): “Overall I have to recommend this one as a must-grab for your collection. The art is terrific, the gameplay is simple and smooth while also being a challenge to figure out how to place and score your tiles for the most optimal points.”

Cuzco (Meeple Gamers): “A gorgeous game that’s quick to teach but full of difficult decisions and moderate to high player interaction.”

Beyond the Sun (Meeple Mountain): “The turns in Beyond the Sun are beautifully short.  You will pick a tech tree action, execute that, then do a production action before you pass to the next player.”
