I like card games a lot. Short, punchy 2-player card games are even better, as you don’t need a lot of time and they work in almost any circumstance. Even better is when they do some innovative things with the whole genre. Like Cain… Continue Reading “Kickstarter Review – Like Cain and Abel”

Aloha! (Saying this for my friend who’s out on a cruise, even though she’s not technically going to Hawaii but somewhere just as warm). You may be wondering. “Dave, why are you wearing socks with sandals?” I would say that you should just keep… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2024”

What do you do if you love ships but you’re afraid of being out on the water so you can’t actually go sailing? Especially if you’re a Viking? You get a job building them instead of sailing them! That’s the premise of Shipwrights of… Continue Reading “Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux”
