The basic idea is that the Ninja player(s) sneak into a castle, avoid, outwit, kill, guards, complete 2 secret missions and “get out of dodge”. I loved the sound of this very sneaky game and having played other AEGquality games, couldn’t wait to get stuck in.
I’m not going to belabour many of the details of gameplay, since I covered that ground with Wrath of Ashardalon and Castle Ravenloft reviews. I invite you to read those, as they’re exceptionally brilliant (if I do say so myself, and I do) and explain the core mechanics of the series. In this article, I am going to talk about what makes this game different, and so much better than the both of them, and what makes the series worth owning either in part or, as I do, in whole.

I have to say from the outset that this was one of the games that caught my eye from the word go ahead of Essen 2011, simply because of the fantastic artwork and design of the game. But it was not one that I immediately picked up because of the limited player range; most of my gaming is either in a larger group or two player. So I was very exited when Mark gave me the chance to review Singapore and I was not disappointed, when I eventually found the right number of players.
This week’s review subject is a 2007 game out of Germany, from MAG Games. I know, you’re thinking, “What the hell do I care about some German game from 5 years ago that I never heard of?” Well, it’s my stated goal to bring you news about games you may not know about that are worth your time. Well, Caveman is that game.
From the publisher- In Dragon’s Gold is each player controls a team of dragon hunters (two knights, a thief, and a wizard). Like all dragon slayers, they only have one goal: Cool magic items and lots of treasure! Actually killing a dragon? It’s a piece of cake. The most difficult part comes after the smoke clears and the dragon is dead: Agreeing how to divide the loot!
Revolver: The Wild West Gunfighting Game, from White Goblin Games Review by Mark Rivera from Boardgames in Blighty Designer –
Hello all, I took our freshly unboxed Game Of Thrones to the Wigan Wargames club before Christmas to give it a test drive. Being a club consisting of thoroughly nice people it’s always good to sit down with them as even if the game is rubbish, you are in good company. Luckily, Game of Thrones is not rubbish, it is very good.
Still, when you get your game and everything from the moment go is a success, and there are barely any hiccups… boy it’s worth it! That’s exactly what happened to me with The Road to Canterbury after I backed it in Kickstarter.
