No “designer” has consistently disappointed me more than Ryan Laukat. The great art lures you in and then you ask “where’s the game?” One of his worst was ‘the ancient world’. It was comical that that game actually got released. It was so bad he had to try and redesign it and release it again. He should stick with art only.

Maglev Metro sounds neat. Maybe Merv and Nidavellir too.

Thanks so much for including Maglev Metro in your hot new games list!! We are pumped for Maglev Metro to come out this year!!

Nidavellir is great! Simple rules, fast turns, no downtime, many paths to victory... Highly recommended!

Ausonia is on Kickstarter so you can see more there, plus a Rahdo playthrough

I must have missed something in Calimala. My group didn't like it at all.

Nidavellir looks superb. I also added it to my list last week and hope to have a copy sent over for a review.

Hi Jon, would consider to make a playthrough video for Power Grid Deluxe as you are the best online teacher?

I had to pause in first second to say: THAT is cool t-shirt. (now I should watch video)
