Splendor Marvel (Geeks Under Grace): “For more casual players, or players new to Splendor, I honestly think the coat of superhero paint is worth it.”

The Isle of Cats (Just Push Start): “With so many choices to make, The Isle of Cats won’t be for everyone – for some it might be too many choices and a slog as a result. For the rest of us, The Isle of Cats is a glorious looking game that doesn’t disappoint gameplay wise!”
