Dionysia
Dionysia hit the holiday theme from an unusual angle by commemorating the festivals for Dionysus common to ancient Greece. This interesting and unexpected theme isn’t just set dressing: it carries through the whole game. From the cards being placed across a standard 3-act structure to the specific scenes available and the use of upstaging/downstaging to splay cards, Dionysia hit all the right notes. And its novel scoring mechanic, where players need to create specific lines of icons across their 9 cards to match their scoring scenes, earned applause from our judges.
