P'kup works IF you're playing on something like neoprene, but I was hoping this would help me with my card -based shoots but more often than not, on hard surfaces, it'll attempt to pick up the table as well.

If you go into it knowing that it can be a great piece of kit.

Crown of Ash designed by Richard Lawton, published by Card Noir

Crown of Ash's artwork is stunning to look at and really plays into the backstory.ย  The raised army, the decaying world and the player characters all work incredibly well together.

Crown of Ash designed by Richard Lawton, published by Card Noir

As players vie for power over six regions, building, re-enforcing and harvesting they also have the Citadel to take, which brings with it a number of very welcome points at the end of a round.

Crown of Ash designed by Richard Lawton, published by Card Noir

Crown of Ash is a worker placement and area control game for 1 to 4 players (I always appreciate a well designed solo mode!), with an absolutely fantastic backstory and a great theme to go with it.

Theres a good amount of strategy in a game that is quick and fun to play allowing a good amount of card combinations and planning, without being held hostage to the roll of a simple d6

Wand cards increase the power of your attacks with each wand giving you access to a higher scoring dice.ย  Wand Hex cards allow you to steal your opponents wand before an attack.

Black Metro designed by Emesh De Zoysa, published by Absolute Ascendancy

At lower numbers, it's easy to avoid each other without restricting the play board but at 4 players, you have no option but to come into conflict with each other.

Black Metro designed by Emesh De Zoysa, published by Absolute Ascendancy

Multiple roles give you special abilities and actions at different points of the game giving a slight asynchronous feel to some parts of the game without adding too much additional complexity.

Each Wicken has a unique strength built up through their deck of cards and the specific creatures they destroy, which are certainly unique - I've never seen a rail gun wielding angel before!

Flush by @flush_card_game, published by Millie's Games

You can discard a pile by creating a flush (or using a Flush card) which helps you get out of a potentially difficult situation or get some of the more challenging cards out of your hand.

Flush by @flush_card_game, published by Millie's Games

Flush is a fantastic card shedding game, where the aim is to reduce your hand of cards to zero, or failing that have the lowest score in your hand.ย

The Six by @thesix.gameuk, published by Play It Now

By having to shed down to 6 cards at the end of each turn, and being on the hunt for 6 cards of the same character, there's a real element of risk taking as you have to decide which way to go sooner than you'd probably like.

The Six by @thesix.gameuk, published by Play It Now

The Six is a very fast paced game where players work towards collection six of the same monsters (Zombie, Devil, Alien, Ghost, Pumpkin and Grim) while shedding cards and throwing out action cards that disrupt other players.
