Reviewed byThey are good quality at a very reasonable price and they have a nifty way of folding open so that they can stand up fully open to make it easy to access your tokens or sideboard.
Great Character mix

Reviewed by Ezra S on (Verified Buyer)
First off they fit wonderfully, shuffle well and don't slide around as much as other brands. They also just have a good look and accentuate the card art with the matte finish.
But the top selling point for me by far is the matte finish for readability. Whether you're playing during the day or under lights they don't reflect like gloss sleeves do. I can't tell you what a change it is to not have to squint at a card on the table or be hit by that crazy shine at the wrong angle.
The only sleeves for me going forward!
Title and Image is misleading.

Reviewed byI ordered this product thinking I'm going to receive what is advertised (GIANT book of battle mats Vol.2) only to find when it arrived that it's in fact only the BIG book of battle mats vol.2.
I already have the Big book and was looking forward to receiving the Giant version as I have the Giant one in the 1st volume.
There is a few differences between the Big and the Giant versions, including size (Giant having a larger battle grid and extra pages)
Fun Decks

One deck works with vehicles, the other works with the new modification aspect, relying on buffing creatures for additional effects.

And that's what Wingspan always delivers. Pure, unadulterated fun. It's systems, from the open and closed card drafting, engine building, hand and resource management create a system that has something for every taste you might have in a Eurogame. And without directly confrontational cards and a soft, peaceful theme, there's nothing to stop you from having fun.
I've played this at every player count, and with experienced and new boardgamers and it is always a hit, and hasn't gotten dusty since I bought it.
A top class game that is an instant classic that will never leave our collection!
Clearly a china mall knockoff

Reviewed byAlso, finding Planet X first does not mean you will win - you have to do the work with your research to get the points as well.
Have played it only solo and with 2 player count and it has moved into my Top 20 list (too many games for a Top 10) and into my Top 3 deduction game list.
There are multiple strategies to find all the objects and it is more complex than Cluedo as it is not just 3 categories you need to deduce from. It will take a few games so that you are familiar with the rules for all the objects when you get a clue, but it is worth it.
The app is well designed and you have so many different games that are provided - you will never play the same game twice.
This is a definite purchase!!!
Love this abstract puzzle

Reviewed byJust a note for 2-player only buyers - some of the goals will not be achieved if you adjust the game by removing pieces to reduce randomness for 2 players.
We still love it and I have to say that I am upset with myself for waiting so long to purchase this gem.

Reviewed byJaipur is a fantastic two-player game with addictive tension that never feels mean despite being a tight, competitive race. As far as quick and light two-player competitive games go, I still think Harbour is better - especially because Jaipur involves more luck and more tactical play. But, Jaipur is certainly worth having. It is considered a classic with good reason.

Reviewed byReason to buy Agricola:
- Great value for money due to the exceptional replay-ability and depth of the game
- You are building up you farm, so even if you lose you still have something to show for your efforts
- The cards make the game so different every time, so your strategy has to change each game
- Perfect for 2 players, but can play up to 4
- The quality of the components is excellent
- There are expansions if you ever get bored of the cards
