- It works well, okay, seven out of 10.
- Guilds of London, this is a game that does not get talked about much these days, but it is a solid Euro style game with these different guilds in the middle.
- Ice Cool, this game still getting played. It's one of the best kids games ever designed, but also for everyone.
- Mint Control is one of the worst. They really their follow-ups were not nearly as good.
