Feb 4th - Santorini

Amazing looking two player game that is taking the game world by storm. People are going nuts for this game. Great looking 3d board. Lots of strategy. Simple to learn, difficult to master.

Each turn consists of 2 steps:

1. Move - move one of your builders into a neighboring space. You may move your Builder Pawn on the same level, step-up one level, or step down any number of levels.

2. Build - Then construct a building level adjacent to the builder you moved. When building on top of the third level, place a dome instead, removing that space from play.

Winning the game - If either of your builders reaches the third level, you win.

Variable player powers - What makes Santorini truly special is its seamless integration of variable player powers into a pure-strategy game. Dr Hamilton has designed over 40 thematic god and hero powers, each fundamentally changing the way the game is played

This is up there with games like Hive and The Duke.

Feb 18th - Captain Sonar

If anyone would have told me that one of the best games of 2016 was going to be an updated version of Battleship I would have thought they were nuts. Well they may have been nuts but they also would have been right.

Captain sonar is a great team based large group game. It plays up to 8 players, 4 per side. Each player takes on a different role. Each team is manning a submarine trying to find and destroy the opposing teams sub.

The game can be played both turn based or real time, and I think real time is where this game shines. You really have to try this one out.
