If you’ve ever played a Holiday Hijinks game from Grand Gamers Guild, then the Endangered Rescue series will seem familiar. An 18-card escape room game, but these are based on different animal endangered species from around the world. Think of this as a mashup between the Holiday Hijinks games and…

A couple of summers ago, I found myself at Epikos Comics and Games in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Travis and I were passing through, and obviously knew we had to stop at any FLGSs we could find! So we came upon Epikos and spent time there perusing the wares. And that’s where…
I know I say it every time we do a Valeria game, but I never get tired of this game universe. There’s a sense of familiarity, having played other Valeria games, but a unique difference to each and every one. So when Guild Academies of Valeria showed up at my…
