Reviews of four games from smaller UK based publishers. We start with Sakana Stack which is a new take on a classic card game, then on to the roll and write game Isla, next is a 2-player trick taking game Sumo and finally the deduction game Mongoose. We talk about how to play, what comes in the box, and a lot more.
