Designed by Torok-Szabo Balazs Published by the Fontanus Scientific Methodology Research and Education Center For 2 players, aged 8 to adult Have you ever played "Pan in the Sink" before? I bet you have. You may not have realised it. But you have. You know after you've eaten dinner, and you're washing up, and there's that one pan left? You know the one. The one with the really crusty, baked on black stuff. The one that's going to take about half an hour to clean. Sure, you could scrub it. But you don't. Instead, you fill the sink with water and drop the pan in there. If anybody asks, i ..read more

Designed by Unai Rubio Published by Jumbo For 2 to 4 players, aged 12 to adult As a father of two, I spend a lot of time playing with LEGO (and yes, I'm going to neatly sidestep the fact I'm using my children as an excuse for playing with LEGO as if I didn't play with it before I even had kids). Children have a very particular way of playing with any kind of construction toy. They like to build towers; but they aren't towers that just go up. They go up, and out, and around. Bits hang off, the sides, and extra bits get bolted wherever they fit, often in complete defiance of gravity. The res ..read more

Designed by Daryl Chow Published by Jumbo For 1 - 4 frequent fliers, aged 8 to adult I'm not a frequent flyer. I mean, to the point where I had to check it wasn't spelled "flier." Which it is, apparently. Apart from when it's not. I got confused. It's not that I hate flying. There's something incredible (magical isn't really the word) for that moment you hurtle down the runway, and the plane leaves the ground, and every fibre of your body is screaming, "This is against God." Flying is, perhaps, the ultimate testament to humankind's achievements. But flying comes with its own baggage, an ..read more

Designed by Alexander Krys Published by iDventure For 1 or more players, aged 13 to adult Sometimes people ask me why I love board games so much. To this question, I invariably proffer a raised eyebrow and a vaguely dismissive response along the lines of, "Everything." And "everything" is true, of course. But the one thing that really makes board games so special for me is their capacity to tell stories, or more accurately, their provision of the tools you need to craft your own stories. The notion of a game as a storytelling device usually suggests a strong theme, and I absolutely love ..read more

Published by Jumbo Designed by Prospero Hall For 2-4 players, aged 10 to 99 years I think most parents would like their young children to be interested in board games. After all, gaming promotes a range of important life skills, including mathematics, logical thinking, and social interactions. But I imagine the desire to have gamer kids is strongest among parents who are themselves gamers, with the ultimate goal being to play games with the whole family without having to endure the likes of Snakes and Ladders or Monopoly Junior. In this regard, I am truly blessed. I never actively pushed ..read more

Published by Prodos Games Ltd Designed by Jarek Ewertowski and Grzegorz Oleksy For 1 to 3 players, aged 12 to adult Recently, I was approached by a website asking if I would write board game reviews for them. It was a huge honour, but I had to decline. You see, although they said they loved my style, they would insist that I make a few changes to adhere to their particular company direction. Namely, they wanted me to break reviews into sections with headers, give standardised ratings for each element of a game (art, components, replayability), give a final overall rating, and then include a ..read more
