If you know me or Travis, you know that we’re both big fans of Disney/Pixar. I grew up with the classics, and still enjoy pretty much everything that has premiered in my adulthood. I always hate being asked, “What’s your favorite Disney movie?” because that is SO hard to answer…
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,…
I know not all gamers will agree with me, but I enjoy a good gimmick in a game. Sometimes it works really well, and sometimes it really just seems to only be a gimmick. But either way, they can be pretty fun. So when I came across Diced Veggies, in…
When it comes to push-your-luck games, I’m usually not a fan. The balance between risk and reward is something that can stress me out, especially in fast-paced games. But when I came across Chicken!, a little push-your-luck game from Scott Almes (of Tiny Epic fame), I decided I’d give it…

I have mentioned on several occasions that Sherlock Holmes remains a mainstay of subjects of which I may never tire. Even when considering roles played by actors in recent iterations, I have enjoyed each’s take on the character (with Benedict Cumberbatch being my favorite of the lot). I had seen…
And finally, the last game from my ThunderGryph Soda Pop Fridge Bundle – Cat-a-comb. An abstract strategy game about stacking cats? Sounds interesting! But does the cute concept translate into good gameplay? Keep reading to find out! Cat-a-comb (2024) ThunderGryph Games 2 Players 15 Minutes Ages 14+ BGG Weight –…
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…
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…
