It’s Valentine’s Day, and your much-anticipated date has met with an unexpected heartbreak. Can you set things right in time for a lovely evening together?
The subtitle on the box is: “Piece together the next level of Kingdomino”. The publisher’s blurb: Moon River uses the Kingdomino game system — but without dominoes. In the game, you will build a personal landscape of tiles to score points, but instead of tiling dominoes in your landscape, the game uses half-dominoes in which one edge has a jigsaw puzzle-style connection. You combine two of these half puzzle pieces to craft your own dominoes. This mechanism is meant to provide more variability and randomization in each play. Instead of building your landscape around a central castle, you start from the river and expand away from it. Also, the crowns (i.e., the victory point multiplier) from Kingdomino are replaced by cow meeples, with players being able to use cowboys to move them.

After a long journey you have arrived on a mysterious island. You build the first houses, create fields and paths through the jungle, and advance further and further inland.
My Island is a legacy game. This means that your game changes and evolves as you play it. Everyone has their own island, which they redesign in each game. Three games together form a chapter. And for each chapter there is a sealed envelope containing new rules and various materials with which you can change your playing surface again and again. Experience the history of your island and discover its secrets in 24 fascinating games.
Thousands of years ago, near the end of the ice age, humans once again dwelt on fertile land. But a new challenge awaits! The ice is still melting, and that fertile land will soon be flooded. All living creatures must escape to the mountains. Your engravings and cave paintings will stand the test of time, and the skills you have honed will be passed on to your descendants. It’s up to you to leave your “footprints on the ground” for the generations to come.
Maneuver your clan through difficult terrain, improve your skills to advance more efficiently, gather needed resources, make cave paintings and engravings at important sites, and use your leader to inspire your clan beyond their limits, while trying to reach the cairns on the horizon before time runs out… Footprints is a competitive game with asymmetric player powers (each player has their own clan deck) and variable setup through a modular game board. Your abilities in route planning, skill improvement (engine building), and hand management will increase your chances of winning the game.
Dale Yu: Mystery Dice Bags from Mystery Dice Goblins
So, every now and then we get offered some accessories to check out. And while we’re mostly boardgamers around here, nearly all of us have dabbled in RPGs/D+D in the past. So, when I was contacted by the nice folks at Mystery Dice Goblins to look at their dice – we were happy to accept a set or three and give ’em a roll.
Admittedly, polyhedral dice are mostly used here for score keeping or other proxy uses in our boardgames; but it’s still nice to have multiple sets at the ready so that we can meet any need that arises.
In their promo text “In the realm of imagination and adventure, where dragons soar and heroes rise, Mystery Dice Goblin is here to support you with all your adventuring equipment.” For 9 pieces of green paper, you can have a sealed envelope arrive at your door – guaranteed to have a full set of dice within.
