Product: Loco

Loco! is a brilliant little game, and those components are top notch.

It’s great for playing with kids and they usually love to use their maths skills to find out the winner. In fact, it would be nice if I could win a game or two!

As is typical of Knizia’s scoring systems, there’s a nice calculating system similar to Lost Cities.

Comes in a nice big box and has quality components too!

Beware! Once you know the rules, you won’t stop playing!

This game is one of the most unique that I’ve ever played. The mechanics are quite tricky to understand at first, but once you learn it, you can’t stop playing. Truly great fun.

I’m very close to giving this game 10 out of 10!

Yes it’s not the ultimate strategy game, but it really is fun. After you’ve played a few rounds you pick up on some winning strategy, but just when you think you’re there you get a bad roll of the dice!

The three ways to win also add a nice unpredictability. Take a chance and you may topple the king. Very,very enjoyable game, and I recommend it for a nice quick-play, light strategy game.

Product: King's Gate

I got this game from a friend as a gift, as I love some of the other Fantasy Flight Games in this format. I must admit that I really like this one too.

The game itself is very simple to learn, but it’ll take a while to be good at it.

It’s another Knizia game and it has that great feel to it. In fact it is similar to Samurai in some ways, with the players having to make great decisions every turn. I personally like King’s Gate better than Samurai as it seems to have more options and a more logical scoring.

Another hit from the ever busy Knizia!

I have become a huge Killer Bunnies fan in the past few months, and with the expansion packs, love the game even more.

This game, as one can tell from the beginning blue and yellow decks, was designed to expand. Loose ends are supposed to pique your interest in future expansion packs. A true fan of the game will appreciate this. KB is all about strategy, and choosing your friends (and enemies) wisely. Luck’s also involved, depending on what cards you draw, so no two games are the same. If you’re nice to the right opponent(s), it’s not hard to keep bunnies alive, or to blackmail others into giving you bunnies (or carrots!).

I like this game because it takes time to win, and since every player’s strategy can change dramatically with the playing of one card, it’s not straightforward. Those who love twists and turns will love this truly unpredictable game!
