We delve into this social deduction party game, which is very similar to Spyfall! Players are hidden at a location, and are given a secret role, which one of is the mole. Then they must use hand management and bluffing to discover the secret identity of the mole! This Claredon games pick is a little more casual in the light board game segment, but this is an 18+ adults game. Who will best use deduction to find this mole traitor first?

![Worker Placement Explained
We explain the popular game mechanic of Worker Placement! This is a Euro-leaning tabletop mechanic, typically featured in games with lower randomness and more resource management gameplay. It is a very splashable idea, being in many thematic games (although not in too many Ameritrash usually), and heavily featured throughout boardgamegeek top #200 games. We try to break down the interaction between meeples, fun factor while moving chits, and how easy it is to grasp. Workers can also be dice in some games, or family members in ones that have more hand management ideas. Not every popular euro has this worker placement, like Scythe is technically not a worker placement.

![Catan Starfarers Duel Review — Memorization Catan
We review the newest Catan game, a reprint of Starship Catan! In this sci-fi themed 2 player tabletop game, you will use a ship and fly around the galaxy, memorizing areas you’ve gone to before to score victory points. You’ll also perform some microeconomics with buying/selling resources, with modular upgrades that can affect your dice rolls. There are the Catan-isms of rolling for resources, and competing over certain objectives. Push your luck on your turn, and trade at the end of your turn. Will you see aliens or pirates to disrupt your crunchy plans? Is this game’s connection to the original Starfarers helping or hurting it? Would Klaus Teuber be happy with this print?
