EUR (€)Cloudage Review
I really like Alexander Pfister’s games. For a designer who mainly focuses on Euro-style mechanisms, this is unique to him. Enter, Cloudage.

Thom Newton
By day I work as a mild mannered (sometimes) software developer. My first forays into the world of modern designer boardgames started just over 10 years with Catan and Carcasonne and has now ballooned to a point where it may not overwhelm my time, but it definitely overwhelms my storage space. I’d describe myself as a Euro leaning gamer but I am definitely not against chucking handfuls of dice to make big plastic minis fight each other. My current favourite designer is probably Alexander Pfister .
Outside of the world of cardboard and plastic I enjoy cooking and am trying to get back into the world of rock climbing.
