River Valley Glassworks (2024)

“I loved it, it was very fun. It had that thing I love in complex games, where it's just like brainy crunchy thought but really condensed in a 20-minute game.”(7:44)

“This is one we've played in my house a lot because of the quick playing time you know there's a lot of times where someone's like yo I got 30 minutes before I got to do this thing and I don't feel like starting something else before then you know who to play a game and this is one of our go-tos”

“Takes under half an hour to play, so not enough thumbs ups for River Valley [Glassworks]. Can't wait to play again and can't wait to keep trying out those solo opponents.”(12:59)

“Oh my goodness, I love this game, it was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoy this design team; whenever I see their names on something I'm like, "Yes, that's my game, that's for me." I really love what they do.”(6:14)

“River Valley Glassworks is definitely going to be in my top games of the year, even in a year where there are so many good little box, breezy, easy to teach games.”

“It's fast, fun, and adorable, but it's not just a pretty face—this game has some depth to it, to go along with Allplay's killer production quality.”

“The base game is wonderful to play with family or people that are new to games. Adding on those modules is going to make it crunchy for you, and you're going to get a lot of enjoyment and replayability.”(7:08)

“River Valley Glassworks is quick, cozy, and approachable, but still gives you meaningful decisions and a puzzle that lingers in your head afterwards. It doesn't overstay its welcome, it looks great on the table, and it's the sort of game I can play back-to-back without blinking.”

“River Valley Glassworks is a charming but simple game about collecting glass to score points. The amazing artwork and components won me over, even though there isn't much complexity to the game.”

“I also like that elegance spreads through the it permeates the entire game from the game play to the components to the table presence to the box”(7:07)

“If you like that of [Azul], but you hated getting stuck taking a ton of negative tiles, this might be one to check out for you because again, it's got that simple [Azul] feeling, but it's less mean than [Azul].”(5:13)

“It's all beautiful, it's all wonderful, it's just delightful to look at. It's over in 20 minutes and you're ready to go again.”(7:16)
