Game Review Policy

At Elka Games, I create reviews and discussions out of a genuine love for board games, card games, and tabletop experiences. I believe the gaming community thrives on honest feedback, thoughtful critique, and shared enthusiasm for this hobby.

Review Copies

Publishers and designers are welcome to send me review copies of their games. As a standing policy, any game I receive as a review copy will be reviewed, provided the game does not contain content that falls outside of my guiding standards of decency (including hate speech, explicit sexual content, excessive graphic violence, or content that promotes exploitation or abuse).

While I cannot guarantee a positive review, I do commit to approaching every game with an open mind and a spirit of curiosity. My goal is to highlight the aspects of each game that make it unique, while offering an honest perspective based on my personal experience at the table.

If you would like to provide a review copy, please contact me at kurt@elkagames.com for mailing information.

No Compensation Policy

To maintain authenticity and avoid any conflicts of interest, I do not accept financial compensation, sponsorships, or any form of payment in exchange for reviews. The only consideration I accept is the game itself, provided for review purposes.

Transparency

Whenever a review copy has been provided, I will make this clear in the review. Transparency is important, and I want my audience to always trust that the content I share comes from a place of sincerity and passion for gaming.

Final Note

I review games because I love this hobby. My goal is to share my honest impressions, help players discover new favorites, and contribute to the board gaming community in a positive and principled way.
