Dimension: The Brain Game To Go Review
20.07.2023 - 13:51 / boardgamequest.com
We review Dimension: The Brain Game To Go, a single player puzzle games published by Thames and Kosmos. In Dimension: The Brain Game To Go, you have 200 puzzles that you can work on at your own pace.
On a whim at Dice Tower West last year, my wife signed up for two tournaments of games she’d never played before. She won silver in one (Wordsy) and did reasonably well in a game called Dimension designed by Lauge Luchau. She liked Dimension so much she authorized me to get a copy from Germany, and we’ve played it a bunch since then. So when the folks at Kosmos asked me to review a portable, solo version called Dimension: The Brain Game To Go by the same designer (I’ll just call it Dimension: To Go), I jumped at the chance to tell you all whether this chip off the old block can equal the fun of its parent.
Dimension: To Go is a solo game for ages 8 and up, and the box correctly explains that each game lasts about five minutes. What the box fails to tell you is that after solving the first easy puzzle on any of the 20 cards (each with five puzzles per side), you’ll immediately want to dive into another, so “just one more” can find you 30 minutes in, before you realize you probably should get back to whatever it was you were hoping for a five-minute break from.
That’s Dimension: To Go at its best. You have 15 pleasant-to-touch, brightly colored discs (three each of five colors) with small indents around the edges, 20 cards with 10 puzzle-challenges on each card, and a convenient green plastic holder that doubles as the playing surface. The moment I saw it, I thought “this would be great to play on an airplane” and so that is how I decided to playtest this game.
The idea behind the game is you are given a series of logical

Brilliant! After Elon Musk killed off Larry The Bird, WWF uses Twitter logo to plug wildlife agenda
Larry The Bird is dead! Billionaire Elon Musk has ensured that by ruthlessly replacing it with the current X logo. However, even as millions of Twitter users (X), mourn its passing, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), is has used the opportunity in a brilliant way to promote its own agenda - wildlife conservation. WWF Germany has compared the passing of the Twitter bird logo with that of the deaths of countless millions of species on earth due to the changes in the environment wrought by humanity.

The entire Witcher franchise only exists because of a single missing Polish word
You'd think there was some grand inspiration behind The Witcher book series - a fictional land rife with politics and undiscovered geographical points, or dragons and ogres for the hero to slay. After all, it's a popular series in its own right, plus it's got an acclaimed video game tie-in series and a Netflix adaptation that hasn't been canned yet.

After inflicting them with hallucinations, vanishing guns, and 'quicksand', Call of Duty will now name and shame banished cheaters mid-game
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 season 5 is here, bringing with it new gear, new maps, and an unkillable German shepherd that lives on your belt.

The Witcher producer blames Americans and impatient young people for the Netflix show's simplified plot
One of the most common criticisms of The Witcher on Netflix is that it strays too far from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels. It may have been a source of some tension behind the scenes, too: Former series star Henry Cavill made a point of saying he «pushed really, really hard» to stay true to the books, while also claiming that some of the writers on the show «actively disliked» them. There's no question that some aspects of the novel have been simplified for the TV show, and in an interview with Polish site Wyborcza (translated by Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence), executive producer Tomek Baginski explained why some of those changes were made: "[A] higher level of nuance and complexity will have a smaller range."
