Not sure why I’m trying to gender a board game here…), okay, let’s go with the grandparent of the genre of deck building. But how did that develop? And where did we go from there?

    Apr 2 2024

    Today we are taking a look at two games that were introduced to us on a double-date! We take a look at a hockey based drafting game called All-Star Draft and a family game by Paolo Mori called Captain Flip. Are these two games worth a spot on your shelf?

  • Furnace, Word Wolf, & Turing Machine

    Furnace, Word Wolf, & Turing Machine
    Mar 26 2024

    When was the last time we had 3 games that we recommend? I don't even know and honestly I don't want to scroll down and look.

    We start with Furnace, an economic engine building game that really should be talked about more than it is. We then go on to Word Wolf, a popular werewolf variant from Japan! Finally, we get to the puzzle game called Turing Machine, a game definitely good for people who like logic puzzles but terrible for those who don't.
