Maul Peak – Board Game Review
A copy of Maul Peak was provided by the publisher for review purposes. The 2 player game field is a crowded one. From all the excellent Duel games (7 Wonders Duel, Splendor Duel, Dorfromantik: The Duel, and so many more) to the excellent 2 player games not based on...
The Mind – Board Game Review
Every so often, a game comes along that defies expectation. Upon first encounter, you'll think, "that's it? What's even the point?". You'll try to hide your skepticism, as some people call it genius. The Mind is one of those games. It's a cooperative card game, but it...
