Sweet Lands: A Deep Dive of Confectionary Wonder!

Want the most information about this new Kickstarter from the same designer and publisher of Ostia? Look no further! Well, maybe this isn't the most information, but it's a lot of information from Brad and Toph! Uchibacoya was kind enough to send us a protype to review and we had a lot of thoughts to share.

Sweet Lands is the 2025 game by Totsuca Chuo and published by Uchibacoya. It's dropping on Kickstarter on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. Sweet Lands is a heavyweight, Euro-style strategy game meshing many of our beloved game mechanics in a way that just makes you grow to love the game the more you play. It's a big box with a lot of beautiful components. But is that all that this game has going for it? Brad and Toph say no.

What are our thoughts? What did we like? What did we feel was a miss? Watch and find out--then, let us know your thoughts!

Will you back it? We'd love to know!

Thank you to Uchibacoya for sending us the review copy and allowing us to share our honest thoughts with you all!
