One thing that I love about social media is how it allows people to share their games and experiences with the world. And that’s how Tortilla Slap came onto my radar. Persuing TikTok one day, I saw this game as a ‘challenge,’ and immediately knew that I had to try…
I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of superheroes. Specifically Spider-Man. It all started when the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie came out – and I’ve been hooked since then. Which is kind of ironic since I hate spiders! So whenever I see any superhero game,…

And finally, we reach the last game from my big Dig & Find haul – Capture the Flag. Now, the game of Capture the Flag is near and dear to my heart. I remember many days and nights spent as a child playing Capture the Flag with the neighborhood kids.…
Next up from the Soda Pop Collection is Forgensis. The theme and gameplay are similar to Hive, but this game offers a couple of neat twists to help it stand apart. Spoiler alert: the Soda Pop Collection is currently 3 for 3 in terms of great games for me so…
I don’t know about you, but I love a good trip to the beach. I like to lounge in the warm sand, play games and sports on the shoreline, and swim in the wavy water. Admittedly, I do have some irrational fears about the beach – shark attacks, stepping on…
With the immense size of the board game industry lately, so many new games are brought to market every single day around the world. But due to logistics, not all games are available in every country. Which is a bummer. Fortunately for us, though, publishers can acquire the rights to…
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…
