Reviews
Mesozooic (iSlaytheDragon): “If you want a strategic, deep dino park building experience you’ll need to look elsewhere. But if you want a fun, fast little game with a theme that appeals to kids and adults, Mesozooic might be worth a look. It won’t fry your brain, but the puzzle will make you think.”

The Village Crone (Dice Dice Kitty): “The game has a good balance between strategy and fun. I like the replay-ability you get with being able to rearrange the board tiles. It’s also easy enough for newer board game players, but still fun and engaging for experienced board game players.”

Catacombs (Meeple Mountain): “From the beautiful art, to the vast array of powers and monsters, to the simple fun of nailing that perfect angle… Catacombs just does exactly what it should.”
