Coming Soon...

Fromage gets a Standalone Expansion!

Reviews

Marco Arnaudo | MarcoOmnigamer

"Fromage is an absolute masterpiece."

Joel Eddy | Drive Thru Games

"This is a Spiel des Jahres shoo-in. I recommend this way beyond anything I've recommended. Everybody should have this game."

Jamie Haughn | Foster the Meeple

"The perfect board game."

Ben Nockles | Board Game Dad

"An essential game. Everyone should own this game."

Dan King | The Game Boy Geek

"This game is gonna be a huge hit. I think it's going to be on many Top 10 Games of the Year lists."

Dr. Brian McDonald | Brains On Games

"I can't wait to play it again. Road To Infamy Games, you've knocked it out of the park with this one."

Andrew Prentice | eNVy Board Gaming

"I can set up the game in less than 5 minutes. It's easy to teach. Super easy to understand. I like it at all player counts. It's so fast, so streamlined, so good."

Jamey Stegmaier | Stonemaier Games

"It feels like one of my favorite games, Tzolkin, but with simultaneous play. The way they accomplish it with the workers is really clever."

Jake Powers | Gaming With The Powers

"An excellent game and it does so many things really well."

Carly | Board Game Buzzz

"I can't stop thinking about it. I want to keep playing it."

Kevin Delp | Tantrum House

"Two thumbs up!"

Devin | Dads and Dice

"Close to a perfect game!"

Dr. Brian McDonald | Brains On Games

"Fromage should be at the top of anyone's board game list."

Tom Vasel | The Dice Tower

"Fromage is so easy to play, with wonderful pieces. R2i Games has another hit on their hands."

Adam Singer | Shelf Clutter

"I love Euro games that are really, really well designed, but also bring in new ideas. This one is checking off all the boxes."

Chris Meeusen | Liege of Games

"This is an incredibly unique game. It really changes the dynamic of a worker placement game in a way that I've never seen before in any way, shape, or form. The mechanisms are very clever. The rules overhead is incredibly low. The depth of strategy is present in the board actions as you're utilizing them, not in how many rules you have to memorize. I can't say I could be any more pleased. R2i Games has a pretty freakin' sweet game on their hands."

Lance Goodwin | Love 2 Hate

"In the running for game of the year for me."

Bailey Jorgensen | After Evenfall

"Once you get into the flow of the game, it's actually really simple. This is one I could get out over and over and over again. I love how everything feels so well thought out. I really loved it. I gave it 5 stars!"

Grant Lyon

"There's a lot of worker placement games and it feels hard to do it differently. I feel like Fromage found a way to do it differently and I think it's really cool because of that. I love the game for sure."

Graeme Anderson | The Dice Tower

"This is a must buy."

Norm Hastings | Board Game Museum

"This game is different from any other game that I've played. I really, really enjoyed this game."

Ilya Ushakov | Kovray

"I can foresee this being a game we get to the table and introduce a lot of people to. It's really easy to play. The actions aren't overly complicated. The games are quick. You'll come back to play it again and try different strategies."

Carley Reinhard | Gnarly Carley

"I'm a little obsessed with it! It's easy to get the table, has enough intrigue for me as an experienced gamer in strategy and play, all while being simple enough to teach to folks new to the game space."

Richard "Rahdo" Ham | Rahdo Runs Through

"The game just keeps on giving! It does everything Tzolkin The Mayan Calendar does in a fraction of the time. Yet, it has so much richness to the experience."

Sort of Board Games
