Lover of almost all kinds of board games - if it's big, bloated and you get points for everything, I'm up for it :D

I'm on boardgamearena.com , Tabletop Simulator, sporcle and most other online game sites - hit me up for friends! :)

Monday game night: playing Yamatai against my sister :)

It's an interesting take on area control games, where you have to place ships around islands to build on them, and collect specialists who add points to your buildings if they meet certain conditions - combos encouraged :p

Overall, a mixed reaction from me though - it's a fun puzzle, but I feel there's too much that can change between your turns, meaning that you can't plan ahead massively :/

(Debating doing longer reviews - thoughts?)

Dicey Goblins is a push-your-luck game seeing players try to take as many dragon eggs as possible without getting burnt to a crisp! Do you continue taking risks to get bigger rewards, or do you get back to safety knowing that someone else could swoop in and take the big one?

It's pretty much a reskin of Zombie Dice (so don't double up), but I would totally recommend it as a great game for beginners to the hobby. (currently £10)

Ever wanted a travelling theatre troupe of adorable animals? Histrio has you putting on comedies and tragedies for the King of the land, and fighting over the best actors and acrobats for your show.

It's great two player, works even better for 3-5, and is a much lighter affair than the previous two. A definite recommendation for a party night :D (currently £10)

Android Mainframe, the latest in Fantasy Flight's "Android" universe, has you playing rival hackers trying to get the most information out of a corporation before everyone gets locked out by each other.

It's an interesting twist on the classic "line and box" game, with gorgeous components and asymmetric abilities for each character that can completely change the course of the game! Very tactical, I LOVE it :) (currently £10)

Lords of Xidit is a beautiful game where you take on the roles of warriors going around a fantasy world, battling monsters and gaining reputation as the best Lord in the Land!

Its main mechanic is that you "program" all of your moves at the start of the turn, so you have to try and work out what you think the players before you might do! It's a minimum of three players and quite complex, but well worth a look :) (currently £10)
