Reviews
Inheritors (Board Game Quest): “A solid hand-management game with a few fun twists that really help mix up the experience. While not revolutionary, if card games of this type are your jam, this one is unique enough to carve out a spot in your collection.”

Nekojima (Coopgestalt): “A fun, cooperative dexterity game that leans pretty heavily into the cat theme … but it’s still pretty much an abstract game. The cats do make it cuter though.”

The Walking Dead: Surrounded (Board Game Gumbo) “What sets the game apart are the scenarios. They are bite-sized yet still deliver enough puzzle to keep me interested. It’s the kind of small experience that I can set up and play two or three scenarios in under a half-hour.”
