Drużyna do zadań specjalnych

Drużyna do zadań specjalnych is a cooperative card game set in the world of Marcin Mortka’s books. Players take on the roles of an unusual group of heroes who join forces against the Evil One, facing monsters, intrigues, and the more mundane problems of the Valley’s inhabitants along the way.

We are not familiar with the books, so we can only judge the game based on its gameplay and how well the presented world works without any knowledge of its literary source material. As it turns out, reading the books is not necessary to enjoy the game, although it would certainly help players recognize more references and jokes connected with the individual characters.

Disney Villainous: Unstoppable!

If you know the classic Disney Villainous, then Villainous: Unstoppable! from Ravensburger is a completely different game. It is neither another expansion nor a simplified edition of the original game, but rather a standalone title inspired by Villainous, aimed primarily at families and younger players. The biggest change here is the level of complexity.

Pigeon Explosion

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?

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. 😉

This is one of the titles by Italian designer, illustrator, and publisher Giampaolo Razzino, which made its way to us during this year’s Planszówki w Spodku convention—and it immediately caught attention, because honestly, who doesn’t love chickens? 😀 Let’s take a closer look!

In the Footsteps of Marie Curie

If we ask about a famous Polish woman who made her mark in history with great achievements, the first person who comes to mind is Marie Skłodowska-Curie. And it is precisely about her that we want to write today, as we now have a game that presents her life and work in chronological order. In the Footsteps of Marie Curie is a design by Florian Fay, published in Poland by Rebel.
