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…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

The next game from my Dig & Find haul is named P for Pizza. I found it amongst some other goodies, in a pizza-slice-shaped box. How appropriate, right? It definitely caught my eye! Now that I’ve gotten to give it a few plays, does it satisfy my taste as much…

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…

In today’s day and age, I feel like wallpaper has become pretty rare to see in new homes. But when I was a kid, it was THE thing to have. It seemed like every room had a different wallpaper, and thus, gave off a different vibe. But as times have…

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…
