Reef Project is yet another beautifully detailed game from Board and Dice, and after looking at a number of their games – Windmill Valley, Minos, Books of Time – it has become very apparent that we should only expect the best when it comes to a Board and Dice production. While this game has a lot more cardboard components, and perhaps lacks the big flashy pieces or ideas of the other games, it’s still an impressive production. When I say…

I’ve never been a huge racing game fan, the only one I’ve really enjoyed to date is Camel Up, and that’s more about random betting than anything else.

Before jumping into components, I want to say that companies…

Even on their prototype, IV Studio went above and beyond…

The cardboard used in this game is very, very good.…

I’m a bit harder to please – while I enjoy the plant life that surrounds me every day in my home, I still like my board games to have some flair! Thankfully, for a game that could just be all cardboard, the design team behind Floristry wanted to make sure…
