Another Holiday Hijinks? Sign me up! The 9th game in the series tackles one sort of ‘holiday’ that many people will experience only once in life – a wedding. Someone has sabotaged the plans for the big day, and it’s up to you to solve the puzzles to get everything…
Purple Phoenix Games Posts
At Purple Phoenix Games, we primarily deal in board game reviews and previews, but every so often we get the chance to check out gaming accessories. So when Rolyn Dice Limited reached out to us on TikTok, I was intrigued. They specialize in unique dice cases and quality dice bags,…
Have you ever loved something SOOOO much and thought that it could never be improved? Like when you were going hard on Mountain Dew until you tried the infinitely superior Mountain Dew Code Red. Just think back to the time its cherry-flavored goodness touched your tongue and sent shivers of…
One thing I really enjoy about being in Purple Phoenix Games is having the opportunity to play tons of awesome games that I may not otherwise have had the chance to play. La Familia Hort is a great example. I had never even heard of the game until Marc from…
When it comes to party games, I find that they can be pretty hit or miss. Some of them are really unique and entertaining, while others are basic re-skins of other popular party games (I’m looking at you, every Apples to Apples-spinoff…). So when Words of a Feather showed up…
And now onto the next game from the Soda Pop Collection – Top Cap. I already reviewed Light Seeker and was a fan. You can probably tell from our rating graphic above that I am also liking Top Cap. Why? Keep reading to find out! Top Cap (2024) ThunderGryph Games…

The Easter Escapade (2024) Grand Gamers Guild 1-4 Players 60 Minutes Ages 13+ BGG Weight – Not yet available Disclaimer: We…
And finally, the last game from my AEG GenCon haul is a little game called Number Drop. It combines roll-and-writes with a Tetris-type of gameplay that makes for a nice and fast game with a sprinkle of strategy. I’ll be totally upfront that Number Drop surprised me in a good…
My wife and I LOVE to travel. We used to travel so much before we started having children. We are having them grow up a little before we start jetsetting and cruising with them. I just know they are going to love traveling as much as we have. I mean,…
Aaaaand next from my GenCon AEG haul is Waffle Time! As someone who exclusively ate 2 Eggo waffles for breakfast every day of my entire junior high and high school career, it’s safe to say that I was extremely excited for this game. So I hope you’re hungry, because this…
I don’t know about you, but the title of this game instantly grabbed my attention. What does it even mean?! I had never heard of it until I was introduced to this game. It is a psychological effect where people associate sounds with visual shapes, regardless of language or culture.…
