Rebel Princess gets a deluxe makeover from Bezier Games that features new ways to outwit suitors, smoother rules, and a swanky component upgrade.

Plus: the hobby of game thrifting that is a game in and of itself, philosophies of game design from several prolific designers, new games that bring the heat this summer, board game libraries and tips for starting your own, content creators who have found a unique board gaming niche, and a FREE print-and-play game: Hickory Dickory Dock by Mike Heiman. Our readers also discuss the games they have introduced to the most people.

This issue features reviews of Sky Team, Vampire Village, Unboxed, Xylotar, Quicksand, Donuts, Piles! and a guest review of Butts on Things by Major Fun.

As a hobbist game designer and collector, I especially loved the articles "For the Love of the Game" and "Checking Out the Fun."

I'm not really sure how I ran into this website, but I cannot believe that I have been missing out! This is an incredible resource to people that enjoy board games! I did not even know that this existed but I am super glad to see that this is something that I can follow now. I saw the Kickstarter and I am super excited to get this project going. Glad to see that there are people that are as excited about board games as I am.
