Author: Chris Galecki

Hello, dear reader! I’ve been a fan of games since I was a child and, somewhere along the way, I picked up an interest in the design of games: how the mechanics are interacting and presented to the players. Sometime since then, I managed to acquire some opinions, wretched things that they are, and I can do naught but share them with all of you! In my reviews, I want to give you a sense of what the game plays like. That way you can make a decision for yourself on whether this would be a game that you would like. I will also call out if I find something interesting and clever or whether it falls flat, of course. Happy reading! -Chris Galecki

Ceylon is a game about tea. This is shocking, I know. It is a game where two to four players spend about an hour building tea plantations, collecting tea, and fulfilling contracts. A game where players will spend the first five minutes creating the board upon which they will play.
