Editorial Reviews of Ishtar: Gardens of Babylon

As always, IELLO has delivered a knockout combination of superb artwork, excellent build quality and really nice, tactile components, as well as an excellent game. Ishtar is a simple design that takes light aspects of area majority, set collection and the use of special abilities to give players a lot of freedom, whilst also keeping games very nicely balanced. - Read more at Big Boss Battle.

If you’re after a tile-laying puzzle, with plenty of room to forge your own path with strategy, you could do a lot worse than picking up Ishtar. A step up from Kingdomino, but I think that’s a good thing. - Read more at Punchboard
