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…
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…
I have a disease called “wanderlust” that keeps me wanting to visit different areas of the world. One such area is the beautiful and ancient lands of Asia. My father has traveled to certain Asian countries and has told of amazing buildings, culture, and people. I know very little of…
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…

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…

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but some of my fondest memories of childhood are our family vacations to various National Parks around the country. The opportunity to see such natural beauty, to spend time outside having fun, and to experience it all with my family made for a perfect…
A while back, I was introduced to Cryptid and really enjoyed it. Trying to deduce your opponents’ clues while not giving away too much information about your own? Racing to find the location of the Cryptid through pattern recognition and strategy? It’s an overall *chef’s kiss* from me. So when…
