Bird Watcher (Board Game Quest): “It’s a fast-paced game that, once the rules are mastered, can be finished in under 30 minutes with requests to play again immediately. That I think is the highest compliment for a game.”

Numbsters (Board Game Gumbo): “Numbsters has been a pleasant surprise, and delivered what I personally want to see in a small solo game. Give me a tough game to beat that fits in the palm of my hand. Make it easy to set up and carry around, which means it will probably get played more. But, still somehow give me a bigger experience in gameplay.”
