Reviews
Hive Mind (The Board Game Family): “The rules are simple and the game play is quick. And there isn’t any downtime because everyone participates in every question.”

Dice City (iSlaytheDragon): “There’s luck, but it balances nicely with the strategy. There’s also an addictive quality to it that just makes me want to keep rolling those dice and building my city.”

Dragoon (Board Game Quest): “A highly interactive action point game that looks amazing, but is held back by its reliance on rolling a d6 quite often.”

Just found your wonderful website. It's amazing! First Class is one of my favourite games. You really should try it out. It's a bit easier than Russian Railroads, but makes as much as fun!

Btw your name (Läuchli) sounds swiss. Are your roots based in switzerland?

Best Regards
