One of the games from AEG based in the city of Tempest, Courtier will have you take the place of an influence broker who’s mission is to manipulate the elite of the city and get them do what you need them to.
Needless to say this is a rather competitive game, and it is for 2 to 4 players to enjoy. Or endure if you’re the loser.
The box looks seriously lovely from the outside, but is the game worth the money you have to pay to get your hands on it?
Released at Spiel 2012 – at a push because of customs delaying the delivery of the games – Guildhall, from AEG, has been very well received and, with a short play time and simple rules, was very promising from the start.
Soccero comes all the way from Finland, from a company called Gamina Ltd. and it is the only game they have listed in their website. So, have they lived up to expectations with the production values of this game?
An RPG that takes a well known hero and brings him close to us and enables us to play those heroes take a great risk. The risk of disappointing us.
That is what Cubicle 7 has done with the Doctor Who: Adventure in Time and Space RPG, take a risk.

Found this game in a clearance trader at the UK Games Expo and I couldn’t help myself, I had to have it. The game is a bit damaged, though, son don’t think this is representative of the game you’d get. It’s just a bent corner of the board, though, so I think it was worth the money.

Recently, at the UK Games Expo I came across this game from Asmodee and Matagot. I knew nothing about it, but it has cats and it’s Matagot, so I had to have it because they produce truly gorgeous games.
So I have delved into the box and its contents and found out what’s inside and if it is any good.
Surprises galore inside!
By Paco Garcia Jaen Last year, at Spiel, this game took the Boardgame Geek ranks by storm to the point
La Marca del Este, published by Holocubiertain Spain is trying just that. From its origins, the gorgeous art and the evocative and dangerous setting has mixed very well with a mechanics system that, although simplistic by today’s standards, really shines with players who want a more raw and unadulterated RPG experience.
