    Nov 26 2024

    We're tired... so tired. Tired of eating all these meeples. They all taste the same, sawdusty and hard. Give us something to crunch on with a little kick. Maybe put some gochujang sauce on there or a little truffle oil. In the meantime, we'll go back to swallowing a granola of Everdell berries and Azul tiles.

    Games we played:

    3:36 - Raccoon Tycoon (2018, Glenn Drover, Forbidden)

    7:07 - Root (2018, Cole Wehrle, Leder)

    13:13 - Mandala (2019, Trevor Benjamin & Brett J. Gilbert, Lookout)

    16:06 - Survive: Escape from Atlantis (1982, Julian Courtland-Smith, Stronghold)
