Review #27: Ultimate Werewolf: Deluxe Edition

# of Players:  5-75 Playtime:  30-60 Minutes Core Mechanic:  Deduction Theme:  Werewolf Type:  Party Weight:  Light Year:  2014 Rating: 7.5* This was the first social deduction game that I played and the most memorable social deduction moments may have come from playing this game - and I may never play it again. I'll elaborate on that more in a bit, but it in no way reflects on the quality of the game, which is very, very good. This game opened up the entire genre to me which is now a party staple and most deduction games can probably trace a big part of their game back to Werewolf. I might have played Mafia a couple times with a deck of regular playing cards, which is very similar to Werewolf, but the fact that I'm not certain just shows how much of an impact Werewolf had by comparison. There are two teams in this game - Werewolves and Villagers. The goal for the villagers is to eliminate the werewolves while the goal for...

Review #12: A Few Acres of Snow

# of Players: 2 Playtime:  2-3 Hours Core Mechanic: Deck Building/Area Control Theme:  18th Century North America Type: War Weight:  Heavy Year:  2011 Rating: 8* After discovering how fantastic a two-player game could be with Twilight Struggle, I was in search of something similar.  Around this time, A Few Acres of Snow was released and had just made its way into the Top 50 on BGG.  There was a lot of hype surrounding this release and I gave in, especially as people were calling this Martin Wallace’s take on Dominion, which was a game that I really liked at the time. Set in North America during the 17th and 18th centuries, one player is the British Empire while the other player is France.  The game is played over a map with each player building up a deck of cards consisting of either empire or location cards.  Location cards will be used to settle new villages, upgrade villages, build fortifications, and siege your op...

Review #13: Ora et Labora

# of Players:  1-4 Playtime:  2-3 Hours Core Mechanic:  Worker Placement Theme:  Medieval Type: Euro Weight:  Heavy Year:  2011 Rating: 9* By the time this game came out, both Agricola and Le Havre were two of my favorite games and because of this, Uwe Rosenberg was probably my favorite game designer at the time and likely still is. Therefore, the hype I created for myself surrounding this release was massive. In the end, this game was full of ideas that were new to me at the time, including the tile placement, production wheel, and interesting worker placement mechanics, but there was something about the game that held it back from hitting the same highs that his previous games did. As with most, if not all, Uwe Rosenberg games, the winner is the player with the most victory points. The game is played over several rounds with each round consisting of five phases: return workers if possible, rotate production wheel, settlement ...
