Cheery Party
Cheery Party is an up to 4 players Party Game with lots of minigames with virtually infinite renewal, 4 game boards each with highly customizable rules, and several game modes!
REPLAYABILITY
Repetitiveness is a big issue with most party games, but not here!
Indeed, most of Cheery Party’s minigames are procedurally generated!
Many minigames also have several variants to stay fresh and enjoyable even after many playthroughs.
PARTY MODE
Take turns rolling physical dice to move through various game boards. Collect Kittysnacks and hire more than 20 different types of Kittykats to help you find as many Pawbadges as possible!
ROCKET MODE
If you only want to play minigames, then this mode is for you! This minigame-only mode lets you choose between 3 sub-modes: free-for-all, 2 versus 2, and 1 versus 3.
ACCESSIBILITY
Everyone, regardless of their age or skill, will have a great time playing Cheery Party! Most minigames are easy to play but hard to master and you can set different types of handicaps so that the best players don’t get an easy victory every time!
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Cheery Party’s original soundtrack is both fun and catchy, and because replayability is very important, every minigame has its own unique music, so be ready for a lot of tracks!
NO DLC OR IN-GAME PURCHASE
Our game studio believes in a strict no-DLC policy. All playable content will always be included in all our games, any additional content will be done with free updates. Cheery Party contains hundreds of in-game rewards and unlockable bonuses, no string attached.

No Time to Relax
This game is honestly a ton of fun. Imagine “The Game of Life” but way more realistic and stressful, but still somehow fun? Yeah, that’s this game. If you enjoy time management skills, or have none, this game will be super enjoyable. Each turn is a week of your life, and each game-mode lasts a specific amount of weeks. (Excluding ‘Marathon’ which goes until the first person maxes out all four stats).
The game can be played solo, solo vs cpu, or online with up to three friends.
The art style is super neat, and the game runs very smoothly. It’s extremely optimized, as my little laptop runs it better than it runs Windows 10.

As a huge fan of Jones in the Fastlane (which I still play regularly) I have had my doubts about this game. But when it came on sale, I though: well… let’s try it!
It is not the same game as JitF, although it is clearly 100% inspired by it and lots of the mechanics are the same. But the game itself is very different and in my opinion, harder. Jones got away with a lot of poorly worked out game mechanics which are no longer acceptable today. This developer clearly worked harder to do it better. On the other hand, Jones was based on that ludicrous system that made it special and I miss that a bit in this game.

Tsuro - The Game of The Path
It’s like a holiday for your mind…
It’s really is. As a visual art teacher and board-game enthusiast, I’d fall in love and buy Tsuro for mobile (my android phone) as well as Steam version. It’s the best purchase I ever had and felt with all digital-adaptation board-games or tabletop out there.
Honestly if the developer could even manage to put matchmaking without delay from other players (like online PVP) that would be much-much-much greater in the long run! Also if somehow we can customize our own ‘stones’ and change them with personal 3D characters or objects: it’s heaven sent.

Tsuro is a simple puzzle board game that is easy to learn but hard to master. Kind of like chess where you need to plan several moves in advance. The game consists of you picking a colored stone and drawing 3 tiles. These tiles have lines on them which your stone will follow along a path. Each player places a tile in front of their stone to move it in a certain direction. But be careful, other players can make your stone follow a path off the board if you are to close to their stone. There are a few different game modes you can play. Survival: be the last stone still on the board. Longest Path: travel the farthest distance by the end of the game. Most Loops: gain more loops than anyone else by crossing over your own path. Solo: this is just a relaxing mode to see how far and how long you can stay on the board. Bomb: This solo mode you need to make a path quickly because a fuse will try and catch up to your stone, getting faster as time goes on.

FlightChess
When it comes to flying chess, do you remember the fun times you had with your friends on the board? Now you can play online with your friends in the classic and soon the new prop mode!
Flying Chess includes both classic and prop modes, and supports both single player AI and LAN multiplayer modes. The game has four different colored aircraft camps for players to choose from, easy to understand rules, simple and fast operation, and the exact same gameplay as you remember from your childhood, making it a great choice for many casual players!
Light Fingers
Light Fingers is a magical mechanical board game where thieves compete in a test of skills to prove who among them is the most deft! Explore a randomly generated miniature board world that unfolds before you as you roll dice and move around to explore.
Seek out shops where you’ll find cards to buy, special services for hire and chests of loot to plunder. Remember, always shop before you steal!
Raid Dungeons, where coins are a plenty, but deadly hazards are just as numerous. Here you will go up against your rivals who can defend the dungeon operating the traps while you attempt to loot its treasures.
Don’t get caught! Play your hand of cards strategically or buy favors from the local inhabitants to avoid the guards and other players as you work your way back to the thieves hideout.
Monster Jaunt
This game has that classic Nintendo couch party vibe. I’ve played it with a few different groups of people, and it seems to work well with both frequent and casual gamers. The minigames have a good amount of variety to them, and there’s enough minigames to give it a plenty of replayability. One particularly nice touch is the adorable art of the hybrid creatures in the game. I’ve fallen in love with the panda/andaconda hybrid"pandaconda" and the fiery otter “magmotter”.
Favorite minigame:

I would heartily recommend Monster Jaunt for anyone looking for a new party game.
The mini games give you a variety of challenges that mostly focus on skill and not pure chance. The board game is engaging and yet lightweight enough to be understood at a glance. Nearly the entire game allows for simultaneous play, so you don’t lose engagement while someone else it taking their turn. The Remote Play Together integration works wonderfully, as expected. Being able to play a local game across the country with little detriment is a huge bonus feature for a game like this.

Eight-Minute Empire
It’s very well done port of the Red Raven Games' board game of the same title. I played the analog version and I have to say that the digitized brother is more enjoyable. Things like glows, and victory point sum-ups are pretty obvious.. but now I can see how much this stuff works and it really does! Now I can tell who is winning and why - when playing board game it was always kind of mystery ;-)
Due to factions' leaders characters, soldiers, and soundtracks it’s much more climatic than board version (I have never supposed I can tell such a thing).

I Beta tested this for a few weeks. I never tried online play, only local. It was rock solid when played locally. I found only one minor bug, and it was fixed before I reported it (someone else had reported it the day before).
I wasn’t even going to try it out, because this is (I thought) not the kind of board game I like. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong! Highly addictive, very fun, and super fast. My favorite play is versus 2 AI characters (you can play locally against 1-4 others, any combo of AI and humans). There’s some luck, but a lot of tactics (some strategy, but it’s often overshadowed by luck, so it’s mostly tactical). There are 3 levels of AI. I’ve lost to all 3, I’ve beaten all 3, but generally the AI levels accurately reflect their ability. I played only about 3 dozen games, so perhaps I’ll get to a point where the AI doesn’t provide enough of a challenge. But even if so, this definitely seems worth the money to me.

Pummel Party
you need friends to play this game and in turn you lose them cause everyone gets toxic, 10/10 would buy it again

I actually hate this game. My friends force me to play it. I have the most unbelievably bad luck and I’m never able to win any goblets. They bully me and verbally abuse me non-stop and it’s a horrible experience. I’ve been told I should be researched because of how bad my luck is. They force me to play 25 turn games and my mental health takes an extremely large blow every time we play. When it’s all over they say “same time tomorrow?” and I lay in bed and cry myself to sleep. This game has taken over my Discord and has made me no longer want to log on to my PC to play games. Will be going dark until this game is taken off of the Steam market. 10/10 would not recommend, lost all of my friends and sold my gaming PC.

Steam: Rails to Riches
Would I recommend this game? Perhaps, but if it has to be a binary answer, I tend to say “no”. Once you figured out how to play this game, it is some fun if you like strategic board games. But the in-game tutorial wasn’t any helpful to me. In the end, I watched a video on YouTube explaining the physical edition of this game, and figured out the rest by observing the AI and trying out stuff, taking a couple hours untill I finally knew what I’m doing.
There are also some glitches. Rotating track pieces, or changing the piece after you accidentaly picked the wrong one, feels quite clumsy. Undoing an action requires redoing the whole phase. You cannot always zoom out, which is in particular a problem when moving goods. If you accidentally attempt to do an illegal move a warning pops up and you have to wait until it disappears by itself, which is quite annoying. Some elements (like the action cards) are unnecesserily small, so unless you know where you have to click, you don’t have an idea what you are doing (in particular when playing from the couch).

Some of the physical map expansions don’t seem available (yet? ever?) but it’s a good implementation of the boardgame. Fully cross-compatible between Steam and iOS – I’ve had two games going at a time for a while, and I can play my turns on either platform. Game servers have had a tendency to randomly go down on occasion during my several weeks playing so far, but only delays playing for some hours or overnight. Touch play on iOS phones can be a little finicky in dragging and dropping hexes; the undo button can certainly be your friend! Animations could use an option to speed up. (UPDATE CORRECTION: such an option already exists under the options menu, and the fastest version is handy for me.) I’ve turned off the repetitous and somewhat shrill sfx.
