Neko Syndicate Review We review Neko Syndicate, published by 25th Century Games. Neko Syndicate is a game about Sushi smuggling in a 30 min. tableau building game. Become the new Kumicho!

A great game for a couple of quick rounds to help you chill out and limber up the brain muscles. Andrea reviews Neko Syndicate from @25thcentury.games www.boardgamequest.com/neko-syndica... #boardgames

Botswana Review We review Botswana, published by 25th Century Games. This card game pits you against your opponents to collect the most valuable animals!

A Knizia game good at several player counts? Who knew it was possible! Be sure to check out Bailey's review of Botswana from @25thcentury.games www.boardgamequest.com/botswana-rev... #boardgames

Away at GAMA this week, so expect some delays in communications, customer support, etc. Trying to keep up but it’s a challenge and some things can’t be resolved remotely. These two will likely not be of any help in my absence if history is any indication of future performance.

Eighty-seventh game of 2026 was "Space Explorers" by @25thcentury.games with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who beat me on specialist points. This was a Prezcon auction store pickup that I think I like better than Splendor.

Ra and Write Review We review Ra and Write, published by 25th Century Games. RA and Write is a flip-and-write game built upon the foundation of the classic RA from designer Reiner Knizia.

The next game to get the roll and write treatment is one of the best auction games ever. Check out Kerry's review of Ra and Write from @25thcentury.games www.boardgamequest.com/ra-and-write... #boardgames

The board game Neko Syndicate trusts cats to smuggle sushi without eating it first Neko Syndicate stars sushi-smuggling cats in a board game that offers big-box weight in a quick, fast-playing package.

"It’s puzzly and challenging, it activates different parts of my gaming brain, and it’s concise. You can play a multiplayer game in under a half hour, and you can play it solo in probably 10 minutes. Neko Syndicate is a gem."

Boxes of Resist! and Maquis

Quick try-out of a new one-player game, Resist!, which I lost (just had to push it one more round … one too many as it turned out). Nice to have two one-player games about the Maquis, both of them fun and lovely to look at. #boardgames #boardgamesky @25thcentury.games

Glad you liked it! And yeah you can have multiple detectives. Which also changes the dynamic because now the killer can listen to you strategize and can use that info in their decisions. Fun twist.

Played Intent to Kill by @25thcentury.games today - Only the basic mode but lots to enjoy, vibes of Cluedo and Guess Who? with some additions to keep it interesting! It really feels like a two player game at its core but reckon two detectives could take on a Killer for a good game...

Ratzia Game Review – Meeple Mountain Andrew dives into the weeds of groupthink with this Meeple Mountain review of Reiner Knizia's Ratzia.

A new review up on @meeplemountain.com today, for Ratzia from @25thcentury.games. I talk a lot about my fascination with this game's rating on BGG. I promise it's for good reasons.

Thanks Nick! I had a vision for it in my head when we went into it, and really happy with how the team executed it. For a party game, it has a fun table presence with the components, a target construct that holds the category card and the arrow boards.
