great game,
A great game but it does take some commitment to play with the long runtime. This version has great variability and empowers your personalization toward your faction than others, but the tech tree isn't as satisfying as Gaia project.

Wojna w Krainie Czarów (edycja polska)
Good but The Quacks of Quedlinburg is still better,
Super fun bag-building area control game that is a tad bit long. Have only played at four players but has worked well every time. Beautiful production, especially with the deluxe chips. The game has a lot to love as well. The open drafting is very exciting and fun, and the conflict part of the game is also great. Kind of like a mix between Quacks and Blood Rage. For some reason this game really reminds me of those two games. And also, the Wonderlarians are a great addition to the game and makes the game even more exciting. However, I do have some problems with the game. The biggest of problem I have with this game is that there are just too many things and mechanics. It has quests, and castles, and special abilities you can unlock, forge chips, leader strength, etc... There's just too much stuff. And none of these things are necessarily bad, it's just that it is hard to teach. The game itself is not that hard to play. It's honestly comparable to something like Blood Rage which is still quite simple. But it takes double the time or more to teach Wonderland's War, for a similar experience. It is also a beast to set up and to tear down. Still, a game that is very fun to play. In my group, I am notoriously terrible at this game, but it's still a blast.

Dracula vs Van Helsing (edycja polska)
An interesting trick taking game,
Very fun variation on trick taking. The game tends to be quite close with tension building up progressively. All in all an excellent two player game, ideal to bring to the pub.

Carnegie
Amazing worker placement, by far the best!,
KEEPER
This could become my favourite business game. At heart the best games have simple mechanics. Here you're doing two things: improving your company's functionality (departments) while sending employees out to the main board on assignment to earn money (to fund your corporate development) and turn profit into VPs through donations (as Carnegie did). Which type of department you can activate and whether you get income or make a donation is determined by the action selection mechanic, determined by the first player that round (like Puerto Rico / San Juan). The rulebook is nicely set out and the artwork (Ian O'Toole - Nemo's War reskin) attractively understated. The solo mode (my interest) has the device of having an easy setting by indicating on the back of the AI deck what type of department the AI will trigger next. So simple, so neat.

Wystrzałowe katapulty (edycja polska)
Good fun game for the younger ones,
The game is enjoyable. It takes me back to when I was a kid sitting in my mates living room playing crossbows and catapults. This has the same feel with a slightly more kid friendly theme! It comes with 2 catapults which function brilliantly and I believe there are expansions out there for other throwing devices..! I was slightly disappointed by their only being 17 bricks per player and 16 of them being exactly the same style but whenever me and my 7yr old crack this out we have a laugh and games are under 10 minutes a piece
Overall – 6 / 10
A good game thats probably just too light, simple and short on mechanics to rate much higher. For kids this will likely score an 8+ and for just adults probably less than a 5. As an adult with 1 kid im coming somewhere in the middle and I think thats about right for where its at. Im sure the expansions will be a birthday present in the waiting and hoping they add to my enjoyment.

Ciężarówką przez Galaktykę (nowa edycja)
Great and fast game,
This game is pure chaos with fun! There is a lot of luck involved but also skill in how to prioritize ship parts and their layout in the design of your ship. It is a fun "party"-style game with a cool theme that shines through well. If you are in the mood for a light game with easy to teach/learn rules, this one is a lot of fun. The playtime is also pretty short. You can decide if you want to play a single space travel or multiple. My favorite part is the ship building, that's also where you do the main decisions. Watching your friends ships get destroyed is fun, your own - not as fun hahaa.

Very fun game with beautiful components,
I'm a sucker for Greek mythology and this delivers with thematic asymmetric God and Hero powers mixed with a beautiful board that tells a unique story of every game. Simple to learn, quick to set up and play, with tons of depth and endless replayability. Has a timeless feel and I have no doubt I'll always own this masterpiece.

Ostry Dyżur (edycja polska)
Very fun, chaotic real-time game!,
I enjoy real-time co-op games with a frantic feel and this one along with Kitchen Rush, this has easily taken the throne as my favourite rising above both Escape: Curse of the Temple and Magic Maze.
I love the idea of workers with a timer and here it works so well. Additionally, I felt that the game gave a very good representation of what it can be like in a busy hospital: stressful. But I would say in a good way. It's just difficult to keep an eye on everything.
I am super pleased I have played this and Kitchen Rush.

Turbo (edycja polska)
The best racing game you will find!,
The game is just FUN. I appreciate the included 4 tracks with multiple modules for customizing complication of gameplay. This has allowed us to play with ages from 6-70 comfortably as well as increase the gameplay time or decrease it to a mere 30 minutes (1 lap race). Love the game and will be on the lookout for expansions when they hit. There are already places for 2 more cars in the organization tray but one could easily see the additions of different kinds of cars and tracks.
