Board/Tactical Game Review: The Stars Are Right (2009) by Eric B Vogel
The Stars Are Right is a Eurogame, centered around a puzzle mechanic that functions as a resource management mechanic, also involving hand management. Players will either love or hate it depending upon how they feel about visual-spatial tasks.

Card Game Review: Monty Python Fluxx (2008) by Robin Ashe
A very entertaining Monty Python themed party game. The game play complexity is inversely proportional to the amount of laughs you'll be getting. Don't expect any sort of deep strategy.
