Transformers Deck-Building Game (Geek Daily): “This is a pretty straight forward deck-building game and I enjoyed it. I think it might be a little simple but I enjoy the theme and had a lot of fun playing it.”

Belratti (Meeple Mountain) “If you can get past some of these luck-driven elements, Belratti is a fun time at the table. I’ve never scored better than the lowest scoring tier—even now, three plays in!—and I don’t care, because Belratti delivers on the laughs in a big way.”

The banana-themed dexterity game from 25th Century Games definitely caught my eye. I love the idea of stacking and the twist of getting another turn for stacking on exactly two bananas—sounds like it could lead to some pretty fun, unpredictable moments. I might need to try this one out! ragdoll hit
