I often wonder if people who hate buying/playing one-shot ttrpgs also dislike going to the cinema. They fill a similar niche for me, with a comparable £:entertainment ratio (plus the snacks are cheaper).

Lovely concise reviews of a whole heap of games here including my little ZineQuest project, Heavy Weighs the Crown 👑
It's EOY wrap-up season but here at IGRC World HQ that just means we'd better push out all the mini-reviews we didn't do all year long.
38 short reviews of what showed up on our doorstep in 2025. Is your favorite game in there? Looking for something new to play?
Big year. Much books. Wao.

I continue to (slowly, over many years) assemble and paint one of the greatest ork collections of our times, yet I don’t think I’ve played a game of 10th edition 40k yet.

This was a nice surprise 👀 As always, Rascal and Chase continue putting out great articles and thoughtful takes.
FWIW the pessimism in the design of Revolt! is both intentional and convenient given the legacy design I wanted to lean into. 👑 🐸
I hope more people check out the game!

Amidst Revolt!'s fantastical politcal arena, which are evocative and entertaining, is a missed opportunity to dig deeper into what follows a tyrant's fall.
Revolt! interrogates power but falters in conversation
Telling stories about violent regime change is cathartic and entertaining, and maybe that's all it needs to be.

Someone pointed me towards this short YouTube review of Revolt! Really nice (and concise!) summary of the game. 👑 🐸
I often get ideas about making my own series of ‘how to play’ videos but it always seems to drop down my priority list. 😬
