June and July 2025 review


Last modified August 11, 2025 by Jarjar

June was all about soccer. Besides the holidays and finally some nice weather, there were fewer opportunities to play. So, I'm combining the two months in this final roundup.

FAVORITES

Arcs, oh boy what a crush on this one! It's been a long time since a game made me want to play again quickly to try new tactics. We're in a very well-crafted wargame, with lots of super fun little twists to discover. In the running for my game of the year!

Vantage, I followed the development of this game, and especially the author, Jamey, in his anti-Trump quest. I wanted to encourage him in this quest by joining the Champions Club, fast and efficient service by the way! Our first game was a big wow, super fun to discover something new like that! With more than 1700 cards, I can't wait to continue the adventure!

Agent Avenue, discovered on the plane to Costa Rica, pleasantly surprised, very simple, fun and effective as a game. There is room for extensions, in any case it will take some to renew the experience. The games are very quick and easy to play one after the other!

THE MENTIONS

Cubes, A game I've been eyeing for a long time, I finally got my hands on a copy at a good price thanks to my friend Louis-Étienne! A great, very colorful discovery for the family, super fun and a brilliant racing concept!

Come Sail Away!, I had read good reviews from several bloggers, so I got my hands on a copy to try it out, and I really wasn't disappointed. It reminds us of the game Five Tribes, but lighter, more accessible, and it's a lot of fun to manage this flow of passengers! The theme of the game is really unique!

7 Flip, I hesitated to buy it because I thought it looked like Hit! But in the end, yes, the mechanics are similar, but the finish of the game is very different, and everyone has a lot of fun and wants more. Another very fun "push your luck"!
