New review on the blog!
Ancient Knowledge is a game that rewards patience. It took me a few plays to really click with it, but once it did, I was hooked. The Heritage expansion adds a solo campaign that gives the whole thing a new level of depth. My best score so far: 70 points!
Have you played it? Did you feel that learning curve too?

Just published my review of Red Rising by Stonemaier Games!
Set in Pierce Brown's dystopian universe, this hand management and combo-building game has kept me coming back for more. The solo mode is a genuine highlight, challenging, quick to set up, and really hard to beat. And that wolf's head box filled with red crystals? Absolutely lovely. 😊
My rating: 8.5/10

April was quite a month. 32 plays, 17 games, 10 new to me, and somehow it still felt like there wasn't enough time!
Finally joining a local group, Legião dos Jogos, changed everything. Last Will and Escape hit the table in ways they never could solo.
On the solo side, Era of Kingdoms surprised me completely and Onirim reminded me why I keep coming back.

I played Viticulture solo, against the Automa, and I totally get why this game is a classic.
Beautifully crafted, satisfying to play, and that worker placement tension between summer and winter never gets old. Loved every minute of it.

Aquatica: Cold Waters is the first expansion for Aquatica, and it genuinely makes the game shine. New characters with Delayed Effects, new locations, and the Tribes module that replaces the Goal Tracks entirely.
If you loved the base game, this one is an easy recommendation.

March was a great month at the gaming table! 15 plays across 10 games, two of them brand new to me. Dice Throne Adventures stole the show, but there was also a lovely surprise with Alhambra at a cosy local board game café, some tense moments with Dawn of the Zeds, and a very satisfying narrow win in Viticulture.

Have you ever played Aquatica? I finally wrote my full review and I'd love to know, do you prefer it solo, chasing your Kraken score, or does it shine more at the table with others?

Merchants Cove is a beautiful, heavily asymmetric Euro game where every player is basically playing a completely different game. I've tested 5 of the 11 merchants so far and I already know this collection is going to keep me busy for a long time! 😊

February was short but packed with board games!
New discoveries this month: Proving Grounds (so tense with that timer! 😅), Imperial Miners, and Sparks. Plus more time with Harmonies, Merchant Cove, Conservas and Sylvion.
13 plays, 7 games — not bad for a short month! 🎉

Welcome to the Moon is a flip-and-write campaign game I'm loving! 8 adventures that tell the story of colonizing the moon, from ship prep to mining operations. Each scenario introduces new mechanics while building on the last. Simple rules, 25-30 min plays, reusable sheets. It's probably my favorite flip-and-write despite the genre not being my usual pick!

December 2025 Plays: 17 games, 8 titles, 4 new discoveries!
Game of the Month: Obsession (9/10). A brilliant Victorian hand management game with deep strategy and replayability.
Underwater Cities (8.5/10) hooked me with its tight card-driven puzzles and rewarding learning curve.
Tracks: Siren Bay (6/10) surprised with its audio-based detective gameplay.Full article:

I've played Obsession 3 times with different families and rate it 9/10.
This Victorian hand management game has you hosting events, managing servants, and courting the Fairchild orphans. You select which estate improvements to buy but not which guests you acquire. Reputation is crucial, it gates access to better cards.
Solo games last 45 minutes with scalable difficulty. Component quality is excellent.Read my review:

I've played Troyes Dice 4 times with scores of 50, 46, 56, and 64—the progression shows the learning curve in action. This Roll & Write has you building a medieval city through strategic dice placement. The transparent dice mechanic is unique, and combos are satisfying. Component quality could be better, but gameplay is solid.
Rating: 8/10.

I've played R.A.V.E.L. more than 10 times and still can't beat it with 4 high-difficulty cards added. This quick solo dice puzzle is clever and addictive. You manipulate 8 dice on a grid to solve Cog cards using gear tokens. Setup takes minutes, gameplay is 10 minutes, but the strategic depth is surprising. Perfect pocket game for trips.

I played Underwater Cities twice and improved from 72 to 83 points, still far from the 100-point solo target. This card-driven worker placement game has that "just one more play" feeling. Material quality is disappointing, but the gameplay is excellent. I immediately wanted to start over after each game.

I love IQ games, and when I’m traveling for work, I enjoy them even more.
