Kero. Short
for Kerosene. This resource is sparse in the future and you are one of two clans
who are trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. How you manage your Kero is vital as
it fuels your truck that drives out into the vast wasteland trying to salvage
what it can to help your clan gain new territories. The clan that can manage
this best will be crowned the victor.
Kero is a
fantastic game that incorporates real time elements with luck of the dice.
Broken into three rounds which are brought to an end with some randomness, you
are trying to get what you can before your truck runs out of fuel. All of the
elements in the game fit perfectly with the theme of being the leader of a clan
in a post-apocalyptic world. In fact, it may feel familiar once you see the
incredible trucks each player gets (did I hear Mad Max?). Your truck has a sand
timer which acts as the amount of kerosene you have to use during your turn.
Acting as fuel for when you are scouring the waste land, you will roll 5 or
more dice until you are happy with the outcomes. Ultimately, the game is a race
against time and I found it completely exhilarating.

Review by Ben Ruegg
Decrypto is a new
party game that sets two teams up against each other trying to not only decipher
their own codes, but more importantly, intercept and crack the codes of the
other team.
Upon hearing about Decrypto and reading the
description, it was easy for me and my group of friends to assume we were about
to play a different version of the already popular game ‘Codenames’. For
this review, I invited my friends, who we have played Codenames with a lot, to
experience Decrypto
with my wife and I so that we could discuss the similarities and
differences.
