The initial game setup here showed me I was going to have to really pay attention to this episode – even more so than usual. Dice City is an excellent boardgame by Vangelis Bagiartakisa. Roll dice, place your dice for resources and locations, and build your way to victory. This is a very different change …
Santorini is a deceptively simple game that forces you to think multiple moves ahead to avoid catastrophe (it’s very chess-like in this respect).

This is an amazing two player …
A roll and write game with a VW Microbus on the cover…how could I not be intrigued from the get-go? Talking about road trips, about bands heading through the United States. Heather and Phil are both fans of simple roll and write games, especially when they are well made. On Tour is definitely in that …
