Pick a defence

Four questions about how you like to play. We match them against the twelve reports and name the game to buy, with a second choice in case the first is one you already own.

1. How fast do you want it?
2. Who is playing?
3. Which look pulls you in?
4. What is the budget today?

Or read the one-line versions
