A while ago, I came across a campaign on BackerKit for a collection of 2-player games in soda cans. Admittedly, the novelty of the soda cans is what initially drew me in, but reading through the campaign about each of the games convinced me to back it. And that’s how…
You have no doubt heard the saying, “You don’t know what you have until it’s gone,” right? A lost love, a great job, heck even that one sweet car you shouldn’t have traded. But of course, “Hindsight is 20/20.” But what’s the opposite of all that? You don’t know what…

And for the next installment from my AEG GenCon 2023 experience is Point City. I guess you could call it a sequel to the popular Point Salad, also from AEG. But this new iteration is unique and different enough to stand strong on its own. Keep reading to see if…
I love a gimmick. Something out of the ordinary is right up my alley. Something else right up my alley is the opportunity to preview games in an attempt to draw attention to the game and publisher. Oh, I also like sea creatures. Bundle that all together and we have…
I have a disease called “wanderlust” that keeps me wanting to visit different areas of the world. One such area is the beautiful and ancient lands of Asia. My father has traveled to certain Asian countries and has told of amazing buildings, culture, and people. I know very little of…
This past August (2023) was my first time ever going to GenCon. And boy, was it something special! I bought so many games, got to meet and interact with some great content creators, and got the chance to speak with several publishers as well! AEG had a neat Content Creator…
I absolutely adore Sherlock Holmes and his universe. I binged the Cumberbatch series as quickly as I could, and still stand by my opinion that he makes the best Sherlock. Now, I also very much adore the series Lupin, who takes the title from the literary character of Arsene Lupin…
