Sherman Leader

While it lacks the distinct focus on planning of other games in the series, and suffers a couple of odd mechanical wrinkles, Sherman Leader offers new tactical challenges and remains an excellent solo wargame.

Isle of Cats

Doing a whole lot with very few rules, Isle of Cats offers an overly mathematical challenge for seasoned gamers and a fantastic shape-fitting challenge for the family.

Magic Maze on Mars

Fixed-time co-operative games are an old formula by now, but Magic Maze on Mars does an excellent job of condensing it into a simple yet satisfying package.

White Eagle Defiant

A great wargame with a rare combination of variety, excitement and accessibility, but the chaos and lack of decisions on the Polish side may prove offputting for some.

Swatch

A rare title that has the capacity to please strategy gamers and family player alike, although it is very abstract in its execution.

Village Green

A mathsy optmisation puzzle that shines best as a solitaire game, thanks to a fast play time, lots of variety and an addictive balance of strategy and risk.

Rise of the Orks

A fun, satisfying and great-looking co-operative defence game which is brilliant for kids but may lack replay value for adults.

Petrichor

An unusual and effective abstract on every level, but, while challenging and clever, it's multi-layered approach to affecting the board leaves the players too distant from the game.
