Super Mega Lucky Box- Bingo with mechanics? Bingo!
In previous entries, I’ve talked about how much I like two player games at home, but that doesn’t mean the only games we get to the table are exclusively designed as two players games. We can find satisfying games even when they’re designed for larger groups. Today I want to talk about a light filler…

BONUS- It’s a Good Life 7-22-25
Enjoy a collaborative comic between T’ and myself. I made this stupid duck character ages ago, and we’ve started jamming out little comics. T’ puts the art together without any text or guidance, and then I have to make sense of it and caption it. Think you can do better? Let me hear what you…

Deltarune Ch. 1 & 2 – WE’VE GOT A REAL [two for one special]
So far on this blog, I’ve found that I have an easier time writing about experiences that have some flaws in them. My entry on Compile was difficult because that’s just an excellently designed game. I’m running into the same difficulties here as I try to muster up words for the first two chapters of…

Compile: Main 1-Flippin’ Good Time
I’m always looking for sharp two player experiences. While my board game collection is sizeable, I live quite far from my core group of friends now, so many of my board game nights nowadays are just me and my wife. This means a lot of my favorite games are tailor made for two. That being…

Monster Hunter Now-Big Monster, Bigger Money
I have played the Monster Hunter series for a long time now. My first Monster Hunter was the eponymous game for the Playstation 2, and it has been exhilarating to see this franchise continue to flourish. Two decades ago the series was just a Capcom curiosity, and now it’s one of the companies core pillars.…

Cars 3- I have no horn and I must honk
I don’t watch movies all that frequently, but I do work with children in their home. Due to this, the movies I do end up seeing, I end up seeing a staggering number of times. Last year, I saw Cars 3 over thirty times over the span of two months (Also, a significant number of…

Magic: The Gathering-I swear I have an angle
I swear I have a unique angle to this story: Despite being a white man in his mid thirties, I am actually brand new to this game. I also like to think of myself as a seasoned card and board game player. Still, I somehow got deep into this hobby without ever touching Magic. It’s…

Sonic Roll-Gotta go fast and loose
Sonic Roll does a great job capturing the spirit of Sonic. It’s fun, fast, and falling apart at the seams. For every string of exciting action and quick decisions, there are minutes spent flipping through a messy rule book. I’m coming across as harsh, but at it’s heart, I think the game is still much…

Crush the Industry–Descended from two titans
The roguelite genre has seen an explosion in popularity in recent years, and has pushed the format in all kinds of fascinating directions. One can often reduce new developments in the format to statements such as “It’s The Binding of Isaac with time freezes” or “It’s Balatro, except it’s also Peggle”. While these boiled down…
