Excellent
You will just spend the entire time playing this game saying "that's so clever" and it really is. Beautifully designed game full of puzzles and clues in atmospherically designed room to teste your resolve. It is one of the most clever games on your smartphone as well as being one of the most unique.

compelling story
ingenious puzzle solving
Contains spoilers, click to show
i used to love the old style adventure games like Myst, Riven and Schizm and this definitely reminds me of these. Its a clever concept where a young boy get washed up on an island and sets out to find out what mysteries the island holds. A lot of puzzle solving that involves moving objects, lining them up, jumping, climbing and also collecting items and artifacts. Its a beautifully designed game with haunting music and a wonderful and colourful setting. I love it and i would recommend it to those that like puzzle/adventure games

It's a better version of Tic Tac Toe, and it's clever
The depth is more than it should be. The ability to rotate the board into a position is interesting, but it still comes down to tic tac toe. If you like this game I think there are better abstract games out there, but I would happily play with a beer in hand and good opponent across from me.

It's quick to learn (4 more)
Each round only lasts about 15 minutes
There's a good amount of skill involved as well as just luck of the draw
The artwork is cute and simple
The game mechanics work well together
Simple But Fun
Boss Monster 2 is a really fun introduction to board games for people who want to expand beyond mainstream games like Uno or Scrabble, but don't want to commit to hour long games with complicated rules.
This is an improvement on the original, in my opinion, as it allows for more interaction between cards, and the new additions to the deck are really clever.
Building your own dungeon involves having to make tactical decisions, and although you're limited by which cards you draw, the main decider of the game is the order in which you play them.
This game is as fun with 2 players as it is with 4. I'd highly recommend it.

Fun
Puzzle
Clever
Definitively epic
The premise of the story is something I've not seen before. You are a little creature trying to return the light (and other things) to the world that it is situated in. Helping other beings along the way and spreading love/light. I played on my xbox one.
It is a puzzle game that really gets you thinking and is very clever. I spent quite some hours on this game trying to figure out the puzzles. There are several "boss battles" although these are not in the usual sense. I recommend giving it a go to find out.
The fantasy setting is stunning, the special effects, the colours, everything is just dialed up and it looked so wonderful on my HD tv.
The game is almost too sure although I have spent 20 hours completing it, I've now gone back to finish each section of the map to 100%.
If you like puzzle games I would highly recommend even for the less frequent gamer (like myself).

Good thick substantial tiles (3 more)
Easy Rules
Quick set up and play
Good for little kids
A nice little family game
this is a clever little game, and easy to grasp right away, plus it's just a bag of tiles so it's easy to take with you and play on a picnic table at a campground, or a folding table, or even a hotel lobby coffee table. the tiles don't blow away in the wind which is another big time feature of it. Usually games are hard to travel based on size and complexity of pieces, this one is ready to go... try it and take it with you.

Interesting, Clever and very playable
I came across this game quite by accident while searching for new release games. I am glad I did because it is a really good game. Fantasy, Adventure and RPG all rolled in to one game. This in itself makes for good gameplay and character development but the added bonus is that this game was made with the emphasis on replayability. You could go through it several times making different decisions that influence the way the game goes. Its definitely worth playing and i would give it an 8 out of 10 :)

Clever two player mechanic. (2 more)
Plays quick
Luck can be mitigated slightly
Good solid 2 player game. Plays quick with good strategy.
I still love this game and skill will win 75% of games. You just need to be aware if it gets out of hand early. Like one player gets enough resources to price you out of most cards. Maybe start over and play best two out of three. If both players know the game you can play in a half hour.
Having the cards in front and selecting based on what you give the other person access to makes the strategy deeper. And building wonders is vital especially with extra turns. Which can then be used offensively or defensively. Which makes for interesting decisions too.
Great game for head to head battles.

A great themed version
Cluedo isn't a game for everyone, but if you love Sherlock and mystery games then I'd highly recommend this. Although it's not quite on par with the classic original, it's a great addition.
Theme-wise, Sherlock is obviously a no brainer when it comes to a murder mystery game. It features all of your favourite characters from the show and 9 recognisable and memorable locations from across the series. The weapons stay as standard, which is actually fairly clever to at least keep something in line with the original edition. Even the 'who killed Moriarty' theme is in keeping with the show.
My only issue with this, and in fact every version of Cluedo, is that contrary to the instructions playing it with 2 people is impossible. It's far too easy and boring and really needs more players to make it more exciting.
