"Variety in men"
Kings is a game about 4 factions and each faction has their own different skills.
They may have different skills but the only problem is if you are going to make
kings in each faction that has different unique types if skills also try to make your
Army just As the same. Let us not be like the government today and also give the lower
Men a chance at victory.
"Special rounds"
In every feudal war, there are special events and i think that this game should
Also have special rounds. Like for example a round where each player suffers
From inflation of materials. And also i think that there should be a round where
Players can form alliances for certain amount of time. It would be a very entertaining
War.
"Girl power"
Kings is a game for girls and boys, but as feminist the girls could have a bigger
Advantage like for example, more troops. And also this game has a theme of a dystopian
Society so i think that since in dystopian society sexism is a big factor. So i think that
The girls faction can have a powerful advantage but since this games practices girl power.
I give it a go.
"All in all game is good"
All in all this game doesn't really have that much flaws. And only few of them are ones
That are majorly pointed out like the variety in game pieces and special rounds.
But in my honest opinion the game is very attractive for girls and boys the lot. I myself
Would buy this game and play with my friends and family. Just hoping that their final version
Of the game will be a perfect factor.

Game Review: Sheep Collapse by Mystery Sheep
REVIEWED BY: Jan Steven Adraincem
"Fun yet challenging", The game is well balanced and it pretty much took some time to get used to. But what differs this game from the others is the fact that it is a bit confusing on the part after or during the 4 night where we have to buy powerups. Its a bit confusing but is understandable after a 10minute explanation on how that part works. Its a game that basically captures the audience when it comes to gameplay. "Brightly decorated", The games design is... Cute yet in what way can this game entertain boys other than just trolling the other players by sending wolf into their homes? Honestly this game isn't attractive visually for boys. Its concept is good when it comes to the colour used in the board and its theme is also nice. If a boy where to check this game out id say he'd have a 57% chance on actually wanting to play it. "Weird rounds", In my opinion this game is fun and cute to play and its very entertaining. but what made me cringe during gameplay was after every round the board would change or replace or add pieces which theoretically would be cool and fun but it is kinda confusing. Its kinda unfair and weird since after every round the pieces that are add or replace have random spawn point which gives other players advantages. Id suggest having a fixed spawn point of the pieces so players could experiment on other strategies on getting pieces and safely getting home. "Why 4 rounds?", Well others would disagree with me by asking why is it that after four rounds it would become nightfall. Well unless the games concept reflects upon the time which is 12am-3am-6am-9am-12 but in not sure if the games concept reflects upon that. It would be fun to have a tracker tell us when it will be nightfall or newbies will just end up losing. If the game were to have 5 rounds it would be more understandable like from 12am-3am-6am-9am-12pm as said earlier. Hope that the game designers work on that. "All in all cute and good" This boardgame is truthfully very entertaining i have fun playing it. Its mechanics pretty good and its concept pretty cute. But i hope they make a version suitable for a genders and make the game less confusing. But so far this is my favorite board game other than ours. Game rating 8/10

Game Review: Pithos by Weird Minds Entertainment
REVIEWED BY: Shane Manzo
Pithos is a trivia board game that uses Area Movement Mechanic. The players will play as demigods tasked to hunt the Evils down unleashed by Loki and return them to where they came from. The players will race each other to victory and obtain glory and pride.
In order to win the game, you must identify as much mythological beings as you can until you reach the required points or if you're the last person remaining with lives. Each beings you identify grants you 10 points which you can either spend to gain advantages or save to meet the required points.
The game is well made with its simple and decent components, the rules are very easy to understand, its gameplay is equally challenging and exciting which sets a competitive mood between each players making it more thrilling, Tactical decisions are also needed to outplay your opponents and win.
The down side of this game is that the players must know various myths and their origin, making the game bias to those who have knowledge. The game took myths coming from Philippines, Greek, Europe, Japan, worldwide and etc. The game doesn't give equal chances to every player, it only comes to who knows more. There must always be someone outside the game to read the trivia cards since they contain the answers.
The game is still very fun to play, especially if you're playing in a group. I highly recommend this game for those who want test their knowledge and see the troubling looks on the other players.

Game Review: Catastrophe by Padoju
REVIEWED BY: Aldous Kim A. Agati
Catastrophe is a board game that has action point allowance as it's main mechanic. The players will play as stranded castaways in an island full of deadly animals. In order to win the players must scout and acquire all the resources they could find, avoid deadly animals and look for the missing plane pieces before the tsunami comes.
As for the game mechanic, using action point allowance made the game more exciting. It has a thrill factor whenever you go from tile to tile. The only thing i didn't like about was appearance of the wild animals. Some of them look the same. Other than that the game runs smoothly.
As for the game components, they are great but still have room for improvements. The plane puzzle pieces are great. The tiles are perfectly organized. The board, however, is the downfall. It look quite messy and disarranged. They could try adding a little color onto the components for additional fun.
Overall, Catastrophe is a great game to be played with friends and families, especially when you are all bored. The game however is not appropriate for kids because they might not get the mechanics. I would rate Catastrophe a 3 out of 5 stars.
