‘Beez’ Board Game Review

by Matthew Smail

Recreating the ponderous, often clumsy movement of bees in a board game could not have been easy, yet somehow Plan B Games and designer Dan Halstad have managed to do so with Beez, the latest release in Plan B’s line of attractive, similar looking games that also happens to include Azul. In Beez, each player […]

‘Going Under’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Phil Wheat

I’m not normally a fan of rogue-likes, dungeon crawlers, or any kind of RPG-esque video games. I equate game like that to spending hours and hours grinding, leveling up, crafting weapons etc., and I just don’t have the patience.

‘Jurassic Parts’ Board Game Review

by Matthew Smail

Whilst dinosaurs appear to be a recurring theme in board games lately, palaeontology and the study of these great, ancient beasts is something that I haven’t seen recreated in wood, plastic and cardboard to date. Jurassic Parts takes a relatively simplistic, set-collection based approach to representing the subject, but despite easy-to-follow rules and fast turns, […]
