- [Call The Doctor](https://pnptime.com/call-the-doctor-game-review/): Call The Doctor The hospital feels unnaturally still, the air heavier than it should be. Something is about to break loose… Outside, a storm tears through the town, leaving you as one of the few still standing between life and loss. Patients keep arriving: fractures, hemorrhages, complicated cases that should never be undertaken during a hurricane. But the generator holds on, the tools lie waiting, and everyone is looking at you to save the day. You take your place beside the operating table, the monitors flickering in and out with every rumble of thunder. It’s not how you thought your […]
- [Stop Krampus and Save Christmas](https://pnptime.com/stop-krampus-and-save-christmas-game-review/): Stop Krampus! …and save Christmas! Six nights before Christmas, the North Pole should have been humming with cheerful bustle. Ribbons fluttering, toys clattering, and the familiar clatter of hooves preparing for the long journey ahead. But this year, something felt off. The reindeer were acting… wrong. One kept pacing in dizzy little circles, unsure which way was forward. Another tried to take a running start but stumbled sideways, as if the ground had tilted beneath its feet. A third stared blankly at the stars, nose twitching like it couldn’t remember why it was there at all. And through every corner […]
- [Packing Party](https://pnptime.com/packing-party-game-review/): Packing Party What happens when you fuse Tetris with colors, puzzles, roll-and-write AND the holiday season?

Entry: Before playing the game First Impressions Holiday Season When does the holiday season start for you? For me, the excitement kicks in right from Halloween. That whole stretch of Halloween-Christmas-New Year, wrapped in my favorite season of winter, makes me giddy every year. So any game […]
- [Mon Repos](https://pnptime.com/mon-repos-game-review/): Mon Repos The beach at Mon Repos is beautiful, but beauty does not promise safety. Under the quiet shimmer of moonlight, the sand stirs as the sea turtle hatchlings emerge, tiny bodies pushing forward toward the steady call of the ocean. And the journey is not an easy one… Crabs linger at the edges, birds circle above, and distant waves hide dangers the young turtles cannot see. Still, they move, guided by instinct and the fragile certainty of life itself, hoping to make their way home. If you could help them, would you? Entry: before playing the game First Impressions […]
- [Rook and Ruin](https://pnptime.com/rook-and-ruin-game-review/): Rook & Ruin A game beyond the usual 8 by 8 grid. A game in the dungeons… It’s not always a good thing to be alone, especially when you’re the lone King chess piece trapped in a dungeon, with no allies by your side. If that’s not alarming enough, you’re surrounded by rogue enemy chess pieces in a labyrinth of crumbling halls… Can you survive a battle that stretches far beyond the board? Or will you crumble under the pressure of a dungeon that thinks like a grandmaster? Entry: Before playing the game. First Impressions I was ten when I […]
- [14ers Game Review](https://pnptime.com/14ers-game-review/): 14ers There’s a quiet hum in the air. The kind that only exists before a climb.

Not just for reaching the horizon, but to be a part of an experience like no other… The mountains are calling. Can you feel it? Entry: before playing the game First Impressions I remember my first and only climb, when I was seventeen. Let’s call it a partial climb, since part of the ascent was covered by a jeep. You can only climb so much with asthma. It […]
- [Doom Cat Game Review](https://pnptime.com/doom-cat-game-review/): Doom Cat You’re a witch. And you’re doing what you do best: a little bit of witchcraft here and there, to keep the demons at bay… Anyone who knows about your unorthodox career path would probably assume demons are the biggest pain point in your work life. But that, unfortunately, has changed in recent times. Thanks to your cat!Your cat keeps knocking over your spell books and releasing the demons. At first, it seemed like an accident, but now you’re sensing it’s deliberate. Your cat might actually enjoy setting them free! So hurry up and bind them demons, before your […]

An ordinary, tad shiny, piece of rock… And yes, it does wreak havoc! Thanks to the feisty little goblins who fight over the pettiest things you can imagine. And for your information, you’re commanding their Chief! And as the Chief of Chief Goblin himself, it’s up to you to get your scrappy team of goblins to do their bare bit, and solve this crisis once and for all. Till the next crisis arrives… For glory!

- [War Bosses Game Review](https://pnptime.com/war-bosses-game-review/): War Bosses In a time long forgotten, the world was fractured into realms, each ruled by mighty warlords wielding power to be reckoned with. At the heart of those lands rose the ancient Towers, monuments of forgotten power said to hold the key to destiny itself. Now it is your time to march.

- [Growing Grounds Game Review](https://pnptime.com/growing-grounds-game-review/): Growing Grounds You wake up to the sound of waves.Your clothes are damp.Your mind is foggy. The sea has brought you to a nameless island. In the wilderness, you find a strange seed unlike any you’ve seen before. Without much thought, you plant it near your makeshift camp. Days pass. Weeks. You survive storms, scavenge for food, and tend to the seed with care. Slowly, it grows. A quiet companion in the solitude. And then the first flower blooms. And when it does, it stirs something deep within. With each blossom that follows, the island feels a little less foreign. […]
- [TownSpire Game Review](https://pnptime.com/townspire-game-review/): TownSpire You arrive at the foot of a spire. A single, towering monument pierces the skies of a town long turned to ruin. Everything else is gone. The farms, the homes, the sturdy walls that once protected generations are reduced to memory and dust. But the King has made up his mind. He wants it rebuilt.

- [Sinauli Unearthed Game Review](https://pnptime.com/sinauli-unearthed-game-review/): Sinauli Unearthed The dust of history stirs beneath your boots… You’ve just arrived in Sinauli, a quiet corner of North India that holds echoes of the ancient Harappan Civilization.

- [Forsaken Souls Hidden Ward Game Review](https://pnptime.com/forsaken-souls-hidden-ward-game-review/): Forsaken Souls: Hidden Ward The letter had no name. No return address. Just a whisper from the past, sealed in paper. Thirteen years had passed since Hawksley Asylum last saw your face. Back then, you tore through its walls and unearthed the dark secrets and horrors buried deep beneath its stone. But time doesn’t bury the truth. It only hides what’s left behind. And now, you find yourself back at the asylum. You couldn’t resist the urge to find what had missed your eye over a decade ago, as the anonymous letter pointed out. The halls rot and the silence stares, […]
- [Ahmad Salahuddin](https://pnptime.com/minds-behind-games-ahmad-salahuddin/): Ahmad Salahuddin I got to know Ahmad while trying out Hieroglyph Historian in the Micro May Campaign. And I observed this strong connection to his games with heritage and spirituality, which intrigued me. Curious about his approach and genuinely impressed by the game he created, I reached out to him in June. So here’s my conversation with Ahmad to know his journey, inspirations, and words of wisdom! What inspired you to start designing games? I formally started designing games in early 2023 after quitting my job due to burnout. I was looking for something that had less screen time, more […]
- [Lizard's Lair Game Preview](https://pnptime.com/lizards-lair-game-preview/): Lizard’s Lair Being a lizard sounded easy. Slither around, nap on warm rocks, feast on an egg or two. Then I found myself in a twisting lair, where paths altered in every move, snakes lurked around corners, and one wrong turn could trap me for good. Can I score some eggs and somehow make it out in one piece?! First Impressions Lizard’s Lair is a solo tile-laying puzzle game designed by Katie Andrews.

- [Hyperdrive Odyssey Game Review](https://pnptime.com/hyperdrive-odyssey-game-review/): Hyperdrive Odyssey There’s a numbing silence in space, far from home… You didn’t come out here chasing trouble. Just distance. A chance to disappear, patch up what’s left of your ship, and maybe yourself. Make a few humble trades. Drift toward a quiet retirement. But peace doesn’t last long on the fringe. The distress signal hits. Faint. Unregistered. Urgent. You should ignore it. Everyone does. But something in the static sticks. And before you know it, you’ve answered. Just like that, the quiet life is gone. As the highly adventurous month of May comes to an end, I was greeted […]
- [Hieroglyph Historian Game Review](https://pnptime.com/hieroglyph-historian-game-review/): Hieroglyph Historian My love for the ancient world might just be the death of me… The moment I stepped into the tomb, I felt it. The shift in the air, the weight of centuries pressing in. Then the tremor.  A low groan rolled through the stone beneath my feet, and before I could turn back, the walls began to move.  Dust curled from the ceiling as I scanned the room. Parchments. Scattered like breadcrumbs from the past. And along the walls… hieroglyphs. Not just ornamental. Intentional. Laid out like a puzzle begging to be solved. My pulse steadied. Not out […]
- [Feral State: Revolt Game Review](https://pnptime.com/feral-state-revolt-game-review/): Feral State: Revolt Ever been an unpaid intern?Let me rephrase that. Ever been an unpaid intern for a gang of raiders in a zombie apocalypse? That’s your life now. You and your sibling, once free, are now trapped in a crumbling petrol station, breaking your backs to pay tribute to overlords who barely see you as human. You’re not a survivor. You’re property. A workhorse under watchful eyes. And yet, when the raiders wander too far from the gates… you slip out. You scavenge. You fight. You grow stronger. How long can you keep your head down before the fury […]
- [OQUO Game Review](https://pnptime.com/oquo-game-review/): O.OQUO – The Forgotten Game O.OQUO A name passed without words, but a sound carved into memory, wood, stone, and bones. ○. Two circles. A ritual. A rhythm. A game. A game whispered through generations, carved into the earth by people who never stayed still. A game that traveled across deserts, mountain ranges, firelit camps, and star-strewn skies. And now, fate has it, that it has arrived, in our time! I got goosebumps when I first read about OQUO through Mario’s Kickstarter Campaign last month. His first encounter with OQUO wasn’t in a game store or online forum; it was […]
- [Cinderella at Midnight Game Review](https://pnptime.com/cinderella-at-midnight-game-review/): Cinderella at Midnight A poetic race against time. I was nine years old, wrapped up in my quilt at midnight, when I first read Cinderella. I was immersed in a tale that showed me magic comes with limits, and sometimes, you have to make your own escape. And as fate would have it, I find myself revisiting Cinderella once more. And this time, through a game! When Amanda Kastner reached out at the launch of her Micro May campaign on Kickstarter, we were already tempted.

All wrapped in a beautifully crafted narrative that blurs the line between game and story. I was approached by Michael in April via Instagram to review In the Blink of a Dragon’s Eye. But before that, he told me to check the game files to see if it was really my kind of game. That caught my attention. Why wouldn’t it be? Was there a new angle to the game that I hadn’t encountered before? As it turns out, yes, there was.I […]

- [Matthew Dunstan](https://pnptime.com/minds-behind-games-matthew-dunstan/): Matthew Dunstan All the PNP fans would remember the buzz that 52 Realms created during its Kickstarter campaign in 2025.

What inspired you to start designing games, and how did your journey begin? I’ve always been interested in the space ‘behind’ my various hobbies – for example as a child and teenager I played a lot of sports (pretty common for Australians!).

- [Otter](https://pnptime.com/otter-game-review/): Otter As much as you love games, otters love to be with their friends- clams, fish, sea stars, and more. So, why not make a deal? Help them gather their buddies, and they’ll help you win! It was in February when I first got to see the BackerKit campaign preview of Otter- a game created by Dylan Coyle, and published by Charming Games Collective. And it immediately caught my attention.

- [Krig game review](https://pnptime.com/krig-game-review/): Krig Game Review “Tasliman, you should totally add more games to our game night.” And so I did! After playing a handful of print-and-play games, especially over the past 12 months, I recently developed an appetite for fast-paced, competitive games that demand quick decision-making and fit perfectly into any 5-10 minutes of free time I have during the day. 5-10 mins of free time in a day?! Tragically, that’s happening to me a lot lately. Many of you can relate.  Games with such short durations tend to lean more on luck than strategy, but I prefer having at least some […]
- [Can games truly evoke Behavioral Change?](https://pnptime.com/can-games-truly-evoke-behavioral-change/): Can games truly evoke Behavioral Change? Seven years ago, in 2018, I began my journey of developing board games. The vision focused on board games as a form of entertainment, bringing people together to bond over casual gameplay. But with time, the vision has evolved and taken a new shape. The reason? Because the more I dived deeper into the realm of games, the more I realized its immense potential. And it was in the rural areas of Mymensingh where I witnessed the demonstration firsthand. Entertainment + Impact Jumping from 2018 to 2022.I was sitting in a cozy classroom of […]

- [Printer Ink: Friend or Foe?](https://pnptime.com/printer-ink-friend-or-foe/): Printer Ink: Friend or Foe? There are many mysteries in a gamer’s life. Why do dice always roll off the table at the most crucial time? A coincidence? Or is it just being dramatic? Why does the person, who isn’t even trying, always win?

Through an extensive ‘investigation’ (a.k.a few game nights) I have identified the types of people who are capable of transforming a lively game night into a potential disaster. For the sake of privacy, not that they care though, I am changing their names. You can get an idea about a […]

Rock-Paper-Scissors- oh crap, I lost again!We’ve all played the game at some stage of our lives. While many boast about being really good at it, I for one sucked at it BIG time. And I had my reasons! I am too quick with dishing out my rock, paper, and scissors- enough for any opponent with a decent reflex to alter their choice. While I found it quite unfair, I couldn’t help but wonder if there were any ways to adjust the game.  And so to quench my need for a proper game of R.P.S […]

- [Hi there!](https://pnptime.com/hi-there/): Hi there! It’s Tasliman, an avid game enthusiast and developer, living in Bangladesh. I can’t quite recall the start of my journey with games (I was too young!), but I started developing board games in 2018. The power of creating an in-person experience is what has always brought me closer to board games. While creating board games in Bangladesh for more than 6 years, I got captivated by its next of kin- print and play games. To me, print and play games are the ultimate example of the power of a piece of paper. They show how, with just a […]
