Number of Players: 1-2
Ages: 8+
Playing time: 10-20 minutes
Components: 22 oversized story tiles, 2 scoring tiles
A solo and cooperative tile-laying game. Players will help Shahrazad tell stories to pass another night by playing tiles featuring unique takes on iconic fairy-tales to construct the best story.
Each turn players will play a single tile, then draw a tile, building a folk-tale tableau. With 24 oversized, fully illustrated tiles in a deluxe package Shahrazad is a beautiful gift package for couples, or parents and children. Placing certain story types together will grant players more points, but telling a story in the wrong order will drastically limit their options.

I would recommend this one. It's nice and relaxing . . . the kind of game you're going to be able to play after work to disengage a little bit.
Zee Garcia, The Dice Tower
Shahrazad is an interesting challenge as a solitaire game, with enough randomness to stymie a perfect solution yet enough control that skill will win out more often then not. The urge to 'beat your last score' is strong, particularly as getting a perfect store would require an unlikely combination of skill and luck together. It's even better as a two-player cooperative, requiring the smarts of the solo version plus strong communication skills. 4 out of 5 stars.
William Niebling, ICv2
Shahrazad's redeeming personality consists of this revealing of layers over time. You will grow in skill and new depths of play will emerge. You will hit new high scores and your grasp of strategic concepts will blossom like a spring rose.

I had far more fun playing this than I could have imagined, and this will continue to hit the table for me after this review.
David Wiley, Cardboard Clash
I really like Shahrazad. It's simple, easy to understand and quick to play, particularly the solo game. It's going to be a keeper for us.
Dave Taylor, Go Fatherhood
Featuring gorgeous artwork by Kotori Neiko, Shahrazad takes some very simple mechanics around tile placement and creates a tricky puzzle where finishing the game isn't difficult but scoring well is.
