Flip Over Frog

Matthew Thomasson 27/11/2019

Flip Over Frog is a tile laying area control game that, on the face of it, seems like a nice friendly, almost kids game. But underneath the surface there is a very competitive game.

Okiya Review

Jim Marsh 26/11/2019

Okiya is a 2 player filler game. There, I said it. In fact it is possibly the definition of a filler game. But oh, what a filler game. If only they were all like this.

Machi Koro 5th Anniversary Expansion Bundle Review

Northern Dice 26/11/2019

Machi Koro is a game oriented around building a small town, and opening several landmarks in order to win. That, I'd argue, is to the limit of a countryside. Machi Koro's expansions, Millionaire's Row and The Harbour, bring that pleasant countryside town into a bustling big city!

Rail Pass Review

The Game Shelf 21/11/2019

Rail Pass is one of those games that has ‘the look’. It’s not overwrought with minis, it’s not a blinged-out Kickstarter, but set it up on the table and you’ll start to draw attention.

Yokohama Review

Louis Noble 21/11/2019

Yokohama may be best loosely described as building a business, and trading in the far east. Whilst the theme may be wafer thin, Yokohama is a game that relies upon some fairly robust mechanics, a slow burn engine to build, and enough variability to keep the game alive after several plays.

Website is clear and doesn't leave you feeling overwhelmed.Majority of prices are fair and don't leave you feeling like you've spent a fortune. Delivery is quick and cheap.Overall I'd give it a 9 out of 10.

Great game , tactically deep and simple elegant rules . Only word of caution would be this game shines with 2 players equally into card combos and is not as good with a reluctant second player . A great addition to a collection!

Item ordered was on back order. I kept checking back to see when it was in stock and the last time I checked it was in stock so I messaged to make sure my order hadn't been forgotten. That was entirely unnecessary as the following day my item arrived.Great service.

Richard

Good prices, great product range and always packaged really well. Zatu are my go-to company for my board game purchases.

Philip

Order was very well priced, and arrived in good time. The option to make advanced orders with an estimate of when stock is to be refreshed was good too.

Really prompt delivery and good comms all the way
