Burn that Brain! - 9/10
This game is such value for money.An almost-masterpiece by Peer Sylvester and published by interesting company Histogames.
The setting is 19th century Siam (Thailand). Counter-intuitive, brain-burning strategy with a unique mechanic: You try to strengthen your influence over the seemingly-winning faction (acquiring cubes of that color) but in doing so you must inevitably weaken that faction on the board - thus hurting the chances of that very faction. Marvellous. Just marvellous.
A typical game session would take 40-60 minutes. The game I feel is primarily designed for (and really shines with) 2-3 players.
