Neko Syndicate Review
Thu Mar 05 8:53 am
Neko Syndicate had me at cat clans. The premise is that a feline-led organized crime clan is vying to take over the sushi trade in Japan. Anyone who has spent any time around cats knows they are diabolical. Cute. But diabolical. Cats are furry little overlords who demand our attention, food, and devotion; on their […]

Dawnmaker Digital Review
Wed Mar 04 9:06 am
As most regular readers here probably know, city-building games are my jam. Foundations of Rome is one of my top 5 board games of all time, and I love Frostpunk both in digital format and the board game adaptation. So when I found out about Dawnmaker, a city-building and deck-building game set in a smog-filled […]

Botswana Review
Tue Mar 03 9:19 am
As the Queen of Knizia here at Board Game Quest, it’s my duty to play as many Knizia titles as I can. Botswana is not only one of those titles, but a game I was quite looking forward to. So let’s see if this is a Knizia Classic, or a Knizia Cluster. Botswana is a […]

Knitting Circle Review
Fri Feb 27 8:45 am
Calico is a game that looks deceptively cute and cuddly, possessing an adorably floofy kitten on the cover atop a pastel quilted backdrop. Inside the gameplay, however, is a brutal brain-burner of a puzzle where players are challenged to optimize among 36 unique tile types within a slew of overlapping scoring opportunities that all seem […]

Grand Central Skyport Review
Thu Feb 26 9:15 am
When I play a board game, I like to pair it with a playlist. Forest Shuffle? There’s a playlist for that (bless you, whoever made it). But, Grand Central Skyport? I’m stumped. Do I go full retro-futuristic? Throw on some Around the World in 80 Days vibes? Still figuring it out. And, honestly, that ambivalence […]

MicroMacro: The Home Game Jigsaw Puzzle Review
Wed Feb 25 9:11 am
I am not a huge fan of puzzles. If I have time to myself, I prefer to play video games or a solo board game. Sarah (my wife) LOVES puzzles and would rather work on a puzzle during her downtime. When not watching movies or Netflix, we play about one board game a week together, […]

Ra and Write Review
Tue Feb 24 9:07 am
When your spouse is an Egyptologist, it’s hard to pass up an opportunity to play and review the newest Ra iteration—Ra and Write. Even harder when you’re planning a visit to see an art show about Ancient Egypt’s gods. Designed by Reiner Knizia with art by Ian O’Toole, the game pulls forward themes which will […]

The Box: An At-Home Escape Room Review
Mon Feb 23 11:58 am
You’re in the mood for an Escape Room. Great! Except it’s a Tuesday night and you haven’t made a reservation. No wait, it’s the dang babysitter who canceled on you. No, wait, you don’t want to go outside. No, wait, your dog ate your ticket. No wait… We get it. For reasons both legitimate and/or […]
