Canterbury

Designer: Andrew Parks
Publisher: Quixotic Games

We had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Parks on the release day for Canterbury and playing with him at the helm. That doesn’t change how amazing this game is. Dozens of permutations, and a play style that manages to just flow no matter how complex things might look.
