Starfriends: The 5-Star Game About What Everyone Else Thinks
A party game where you get into your friends' heads. Kinda like a blend of Wavelength and Letterboxd that fits into a deck of cards.
www.kickstarter.com
Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

Here's a long Thanksgiving listen if you wanna go ultra deep on the Caves of Qud endgame. The hosts & Brian/Caelyn are so insightful as always, but I'm also thankful they let me rattle on re: the teeming melange that went into the ending. This was the post-release exhale I needed. Hope you enjoy!
