Board game reviews, strategy tips & session reports
Villagers and Villains is a card game in which you play a mayor. You must hire citizens, construct buildings and recruit heroes to protect your village from monsters. After someone has nine cards in play the games ends. You total your VPs, add a few bonuses and proclaim a winner.
Infinite City is an area control tile-laying game. You try to occupy more adjacent tiles than your opponents. But your opponents (and the tiles they place) will have something to say about that.

Jaipur is a fairly light two player card game. You and your opponent are traders, but only one of you can claim two seals of excellence and win the game.
Asara is a game about building towers. As an architect you must send buyers to get parts and try to build the tallest (or most) towers as you can.
