Gnome Hollow might have made waves because of its magnetic player boards, but don’t let that really cool new production idea take away from what is underneath – a really great tile laying game with some interesting mechanics that sets it apart. Although not everyone I played with was a fan of how this game played, I thought it was interesting and innovative, more so than I thought it would be! On the surface, Gnome Hollow looks like a tile…

I previously wrote on the site that I wasn’t very excited for the game Umbrella, and that the components were the only reason I was giving this game a go. You can read my components review article right now but how does the game itself actually play. Was it more puzzly-then-game as I assumed it would be? Let’s take a look.
