Guardians Call: Rapid Review Information: Mechanics:  Bluffing, Set Collection, Social Deduction Player Age:  14+  Player Count:  2 - 5  Players  Time to Play:  2 0 - 40  Minutes  Game Designer :  James Hudson Game Artist:   Noah Adelman, Lina Cossette, Damien Mammoliti Publisher : Druid City Games, Skybound Games Year Published:  2019 BGG Weight:  2.00 Disclaimer:  A review copy for the game was provided by the publisher. Rundown: 'Guardians Call' is a social deduction/ bluffing game that I can best describe as a mix between 'Cockroach Poker' and 'Sheriff of Nottingham'.  The main action you will perform each turn is offering a player a certain amount of the same card while claiming that they are a specific card type.

You cannot mix and match cards or lie about the amount you are offering, but besides that players are able to lie about what the card t...

Introduction: It is time to return to the magical world of everdell. Bellfaire adds multiple modules that can be used in any game. Boards: The most obvious addition is a board that replaces the iconic Everdell tree. The cosmetically exciting but functionally annoying tree has been replaced by a board that brings a few of tricks of its own. Firstly, there is a new basic event worth four points if a player can gain one of each card type in their city. There is also a new end game scoring award that will give six points to the player with the m...

Rundown: 'Draftosaurus', like the name implies, is a game about drafting dinosaurs. After two rounds (or four rounds in a two-player game) you will create a thriving dinosaur zoo. This was a game that sold out extremely quick when it was launched at origins 2019, this fact alone should excite and intrigue. Throughout the drafting you will build upon pens. Each pen that dinosaurs can be placed in has unique scoring possibilities such as pens that score off unique or identical dinosaurs. T...
