Reviews
LAMA (iSlaytheDragon): “So while I can appreciate the clever twists that LAMA offers, and I understand that it’s not fully a mindless card game, I just don’t think I have much use for it.”

Vadoran Gardens (I Play Red): “On initial looks, it is a small card game, however, the rules on placing cards along with the lesson plans each turn can make this tough and you will frequently have to give up on a current plan when things just don’t go the way you want!”

Tokyo Highway (One Board Family): “Tokyo Highway is a dexterity game that feels like a puzzle as you play. After each game, I love stepping back to see the artistic piece that has developed over the 30 minutes of gameplay.”
