Gulo Gulo board game everything in the game

Gulo Gulo board game review

How hard can it be to pull a little egg out of a bowl?

In Gulo Gulo, it’s much harder than you think.

Especially when the bowl is packed with different-sized eggs, you’re only allowed to use one hand, and setting off the alarm can ruin your turn.

That’s the basic premise behind this children’s dexterity game originally released more than 20 years ago.

The game has been out of print for a number of years, but thanks to Pandasaurus Games, Gulo Gulo is back with a new edition!

Although the game is primarily designed for kids, it’s quite the challenge for adults as well (mainly because of our bigger fingers).

Tulikko board game review

Tile-laying games are some of our family’s favorite board games.

There’s something satisfying about watching a colorful puzzle slowly come together over the course of a game. And when a game adds an interesting twist to the formula, we’re even more eager to give it a try.

So, when we saw the colorful tiles and unique drafting mechanism in Tulikko by Pandasaurus Games, we were excited to give it a go.

Tulikko takes a familiar tile-laying formula and adds a unique tile-drafting mechanism that makes every turn feel interesting. Combined with gorgeous artwork, quick gameplay, easy-to-learn rules, and variable goals, it creates a fun game experience.

Splitter dice game review

Sometimes you just want a quick and light dice-rolling game for a bit of fun.

No heavy strategy.

No belabored turns.

Just some quick choices as you roll away.

In Splitter, by Pandasaurus Games you really don’t have to wait for typical turns anyway because everyone is active with every roll of the dice.

We included Splitter in our 2024 Board Game Gift Guide in the dice game category because it’s such a simple game that anyone can join in the fun.

Qwinto Dice Game Review

We have no idea what “Qwinto” means or where on earth that name came from, but we do know it’s a fun dice game!

Over the last few years, “roll-and-write” games have been pouring out from almost every game publisher. These are games where players either roll dice or flip cards and then write the results on their personal sheets. A few such games we’ve reviewed include That’s Pretty Clever, Kingdomino Duel, and Metro X.

Qwinto, by Pandasaurus Games, is the latest we’ve played and we’ve been hooked!

We got a copy in the game trade at SaltCon 2021 and have played over 20 times this past month. And when we play a game that much, you bet we’re going to tell you all about it.
