How I Review Games
Before writing a full review for a game I will try to play it at least 3 times and at different player counts where possible.
I will always give my honest opinion on games and products regardless of whether I bought them myself or they were given to me.
Each game is broken down into 4 sections:
- Gameplay
- Aesthetics & Components
- Rules & Teaching
- Replayability.
These four sections are given a score out of 10, producing an overall score out of 40. This is then divided by 4 to produce an average score out of 10.
- Awful – defies game description
- Very bad – won’t play ever again
- Bad – likely won’t play this again
- Not so good – but could play again
- Average – slightly boring, take it or leave it
- Ok – will play if in the mood
- Good – usually willing to play
- Very good – enjoy playing and would suggest it
- Excellent – always enjoy playing it
- Outstanding – will always enjoy playing and expect this will never change
Review Copies
I occasionally accept review copies or products free of charge in exchange for my open and honest review. These posts will include a disclaimer, such as:

If you would like me to review your game/product, please get in touch via email.
I do not accept prototype games or print & plays for reviews. Professional quality prototypes are accepted for previews, on a case by case basis.
