Reviews of The Whatnot Cabinet

In my head, The Whatnot Cabinet is best described as the love child of Sagrada and Kingdomino, not in terms of theme but in terms of mechanics. Balancing the decision of how to obtain your tiles with turn order is a great little quandary. It really does remind me of the claiming of tiles in Kingdomino. The later squares give you more choice and less risk, but turn order is important, especially as the game progresses. Where you place your tiles is reminiscent of Sagrada. Less of a headscratcher but still plenty going on, and often going wrong, to keep you entertained. - Read more at Board Game Review UK
