Review – The Rival Networks
I have always loved The Networks, ever since the beginning. It was one of my first Kickstarter games and it’s solidly in my Top 10 games of all time. So when I heard that a 2-player version of the game, The Rival Networks, was… Continue Reading “Review – The Rival Networks”

Review – The City
This review actually has more twists and turns than a City Council meeting trying to issue a policy that will please all of its residents. I guess I should identify the game I’m talking about first, though. The City is a tableau-building card game… Continue Reading “Review – The City”
