Wispwood

I like the innovative drafting mechanism and how it has combined with a simple tile placement mechanism. Smart use of Tetris blocks by breaking then down into individual tiles. The placement of tiles in a way to gain the most out of individual Wisps is an interesting challenge.

Got to play an early prototype of Wispwood. I can’t wait to play the final version when it’s available. I really enjoyed the puzzle aspects of this game and how the play area grew each round giving a good balance between round tactics and long term strategy.

Got to play the prototype and there's a lot to love about it if you enjoy a puzzly tile-laying game: good tactical decisions but nice long-term strategy elements, too, lots of replayability with the variety of scoring cards, quick turns, thinky but not overwhelming, progression and a nice game arc, plus a super charming theme. And the art so far (box cover only, at this point) looks awesome!

Fun competitive puzzle with a cute theme.

Got a chance to play test this gem last con. A lot of fun and infinite replay ability.
