Reviews
PsychoBabble (Tabletop Bellhop): “Here you have a social deduction party game that even I can enjoy. This game avoids what I consider the pitfalls of most social deduction games by not requiring lying and by making it so that the person with the outsider role doesn’t know they are the outsider. I’ve had a lot of fun playing PsychoBabble and it’s been a huge hit with the local gaming community.”

Leaf (What Board Game): “I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys games of low to medium weight that still offer a thoughtful and strategic experience. This game is perfect to play with family or a group of friends on a cosy autumn evening, watching the last rays of sun go down, while enjoying a mug of something warm and comforting.”

Miller Zoo (Board Game Quest): “A mostly realistic take on the zoo-game genre that has engaging problem solving, but relies a bit too much on legacy-style stickers to build up the game.”
