Pigeon Explosion is a new party-style card game from Muduko in which we feed our birds, sneak food onto other players’ pigeons and try to make ours happy while making theirs… explode. It sounds like a fast and intense game with a solid dose of negative interaction, but does it have to be that way?
Pacific is a game by Donald X. Vaccarino, best known as the designer of Dominion, which already suggests a straightforward game that still leaves players room for various strategic moves. This time, players invest in tourism, industry, transport, and nature, while the game gives them space for some light business-minded scheming, wrapping the whole thing in a neat card-and-board puzzle for 2–5 players. Let’s take a closer look at what it is all about.
Muduko returns with another game from its series about warring animals—once again built on a design by Reiner Knizia and enhanced with distinctive illustrations by Piotr Sokołowski. The title Prapuszcza: Ostatnie starcie suggests a climactic entry in this line, although whether it truly marks the end remains to be seen. 😉
Carl Chudyk is one of those designers whose name always promises something unusual. Panda Spin is no exception — it’s a trick-taking card game where the competition for each hand is combined with a clever card-flipping mechanic that boosts your cards’ power. Published by Muduko, the game takes us into the world of the Chinese zodiac, where a panda decides to join the other animals.
The forest is a living organism, where beneath the surface an intense, silent struggle for survival takes place. In Mycelia, you take the role of a mycelium that expands, fruits, and spreads spores to gain dominance in a world full of competition. This title combines the feel of biology with tactical competition over space. And if things get too cramped in this underground realm, the North American Expansion comes to the rescue, introducing trees, symbiosis, and an option for a fifth player.
“Jump Drive” from Rio Grande Games is a fast-paced card game by Tom Lehmann, set in the universe of the classic “Race for the Galaxy.” Unlike its older sibling, it’s more approachable while still capturing the spirit of building a space empire and chasing powerful card combos. Let’s see what this deck has in store.
