So get Dominion first and master that. And then get Core Worlds, a deck-building game for your 2-5 player gaming group.
You’ve seen the YouTubes about guys playing with and opening $10,000 puzzle boxes, right? Well, The Room offers you that experience for yourself for about $5.
Terra Nil is a reverse city-builder where, instead of building industry, you reclaim a barren wasteland.
Technically, there was an E3 last year, I guess. I don’t remember a thing about it. Well, 2020 is in the rear view mirror and we had the first E3 in forever.
Controversy will make the Five Nights at Freddy’s film “controversial,” which worked beautifully for Joker: derided but successful.

If played Hades until you couldn’t play it anymore…but then pined, wishing you could play a game a lot like Hades?

Why can’t we have a game where people are just nice to each other?!?!? Which brings me to Cozy Grove.
Last week’s post was for people who might not have played Hades. This weeks post is for people who have beaten Hades and have favorite strategies.
“My [insert favorite baseball team] is owned/run by complete morons and I must destroy them.” Folks, Out of the Park Baseball 22 is for you.
Death is one of the things that is difficult to work in a game. Hades is a game that has death built into the game loop. Dying is part of it.
