Bingo Hall
I was in need of finding a place to play my favourite game Bingo. This is the best hosting place for it. My only recommendation is that we don’t need to make a new lobby everytime we want to go back to the online lobby to change the number of cards or the pattern. Other than that 10/10.
Thank you! 3

Great experience for playing bingo. Use this for family and work events.
Like the online play. People can join with the room code and play with their phones / computers.
You can also play with physical bingo cards.

Faerie Solitaire Remastered
I’ve given this remaster 10 hours now and made notes on the differences, and I feel like I can do a decent review now. Disclaimer: I love the original Faerie Solitaire. I got it on sale for 99 cents, and I love it enough that twice now I’ve deleted the game file that keeps track of the in-game feats (not the Steam achievements) so that I could have a more legitimate reason to play it more. I’m not nearly as enamored with this version, so I’ll start with the cons.

7.5/10
I finally decided to give this solitaire game a try after seeing it mentioned as a favorite by users in their reviews of various other solitaire games. I waited for a while to see if it would go on sale, but this apparently has never happened.
Initially, I can see the appeal. In Faerie Solitaire, you collect “eggs” while playing levels, which you can then “hatch.” A creature is then revealed which will grow as you continue to play. Once the creature is “grown,” you can spend a combination of three different resources (also found within the levels) to “evolve” the creature. As far as I can tell, these creatures have no impact at all on completing the game’s solitaire levels – however, they provide an additional progress bar and goal to pursue for players.

Terra Mystica
First of all:
I own the boardgame version of this and also have the mobile app.
Sadly I can not recommend Terra Mystica on Steam right now for several reasons:
1. It is just a bad mobile app port. Let me explain:
Basically they did not adjust the controls and UI at all. It still feels and handles like an app. It is clunky and counterintuitive. Some buttons are just huuuge. Like my fist huge. Indicators on what to do are missing. as well as tooltips. No effort was put into the UI for the port - that is clear.

This is a review of the PC implementation of Terra Mystica (board game)
Software SCORE: 1/10
Original Board Game SCORE: 9/10
I’m writing this review 3 years after playing the game seriously, but apart from the “bugs” (which I didn’t check), everything else still applies to the current version of July of 2020.
Note: If you want to see who I am (professionally) read the end note please.
This game was the worst development of a game that I ever played. It has an awful User Interface (UI)!
Yes: the worst I have ever experienced on a PC. So bad I couldn’t believe it. There were bugs everywhere, even in the most basic of things, like screen resolution. I spent so many hours trying to figure out what was happening. I thought it was my PC or me doing something wrong, because I couldn’t believe someone would release a game with such bugs. But this company did…

Brave Hand
edit: dungeon run game mode added + leaderboards work now.
brave hand is an endless score-attack card game with a bit of a narrative that has been on mobile devices for years, then finally made its way to pc in 2021. unfortunately, the quality of the port is poor.

A very moreish solitaire-type game, for not even $2. Easy to dip in and out of, great for when you have a few minutes to kill.

Fated Kingdom
So, I have 60+ hours in on this game and I have to say, it’s been a lot of fun. I started streaming Fated Kingdom over a month ago. Since then I have made some new friends and discovered a whole new affection for board games.
Yes, there are things worth discussing, like the interpretation from Russian to English. There are also some phrasing or wording points that may seem unclear at first. Reaching out to the developers has helped a lot. The developers are still very active in the games development. From bug fixes to Rule updates. And they are quick to respond to questions on Steam and Discord.

Fated Kingdoms is a promising game. Visually it looks great the artwork is stunning and the design of the game board/ dice/ tokens is fitting and of equally high quality.
Mechanic/rule wise the game is a bit lacking, the rules (in the English version) are very poorly explained, it is clear that English is not the primary language of the developer. Most of the times this is a mild annoyance but certain sections can be undecipherable leading to serious interpretation issues. Another problem is the lack of a clear objective. I understand that the rules are meant to be open and flexible but giving at least a few good suggestions for winning conditions is very relevant for new players, without them it just feels unrewarding.

Viking Chess: Hnefatafl
The chess itself is amazing! The game devoloper is really attentive, I had a problem during the early release and he had the patience to sit and chat with me to get the problem solved. There are two sound tracks (if I’m not mustaken), both in perfect loop and didn’t get boring even after 12 hours. The graphics might not be what I’m used to in the games I usually play, but I loved them, a totally 3D Hnefatafl game (if you don’t like the 3D you can play in 2D by pressing ‘Tab’). Right now the game is still in the 1.01 version, so there might be some bugs, but I highly sugest you to write your issue in the steam community, the developer will get in touch in no time, and he’s goona help you out!!

ever since i heard of this game, i wanted to try it out.
since online simulators didnt work i was really looking forward to the steam version
its a fun game, but it is very asymmetrical (i lost every game as attacker except one and have yet to be defeated as defender, against the ai), still gotta see what multiplayer has in store and what strategies may work
although its an old chess like game, style and strategies are very different here, every piece moves like a rook and anticipation is very difficult because of the four sides and the bigger field

Heroes of Normandie
Heroes of Normandie is a theme fest with a decent game behind it, and if you buy the theme, it works really well. Addictingly well. Slitherine has added just enough tactical meat to the comic book meets classic Hollywood war flick mix to make it good grognard candy. If you like fun, light thematic war games, HoN is all that.
I can’t say if it’s as good, worse or better than the boardgame implementation, but it stands alone, as is. If the promised content is added, I expect it to get better, and it might hit that sweet spot between depth and complexity that allows for a title to get attention from gamers who wouldn’t look twice at a traditional hex and counter tactical game, even a fairly light one.

This game needs more recent reviews. So….
I bought it yesterday while on sale after they released the new action cards.
I’m happy with it. I’ve played board war games for years and even have many from “back in the day”. This is different in that you are not simulating a real battle but solving a tactical challenge. Other reviews mention that and it helped me adjust to the game and enjoy it more.
Based on the other reviews a LOT has changed. I’ve monitored the forums for weeks and noticed the devs are responsive and receptive. Players can be pretty demanding and impatient. The devs seem to take it all in stride.

Karanos Solitaire
A relaxing solitaire game ideal for when you have a little bit of spare time. Satisfying sound fx and adjustable visuals (white on black hurts my eyes but the blue background is great). Recommended.

Fun single player card game. Only gripe is I wish some of the achievements weren’t so impossible. Game is priced perfectly and the pixel art looks great. Looking forward to see more games by the dev.

Gigachess
Solid game. I wish that the menu music was an option out of the 3 during-game music options available, it’s the best of them all. Only con is the music, which can be turned off.
Fair warning to those excited to see a steam game related to chess: It’s more of a puzzle game than a chess game. Even still, fun game that can be picked up and played for 5 or 50 minutes at a time.

2nd review as of May 7th, 2017: More recommended
Props to Drixxel, the developer. I chose to come back and play this game a bit today, and there have been some significant amount of UI-friendly and (positive) gameplay changes. The game is more polished. Music/Audio options, more advanced rules (at least within endless mode). I’m surprised by how few people there are considering the fair amount of content and rewarded quality that was put into the game’s update.

Introduction
Gigachess was developed and published by Gigatross Games. The game itself is interesting because it takes the rules of chess and makes it into a game of it’s own, which it being both challenging and fun to play.
Gameplay
This game is rather clever, with the way that it takes the game of chess and twists it in a way that makes it both fun yet challenging to play. The basics of the game are that your chess pieces can be either a Bishop, Rook or a knight. Your enemies are a number of pawns which you must take out before they reach the end of the chess board and take a life from you. That’s basically the whole game.
