Burned is a terrific two-player hidden-movement game. It has a new Gamecrafter campaign that's launching today, and you should absolutely take a look! Here's hoping third time's the charm. And shoutout to @sowronggames.bsky.social for putting it on my radar.

Remember, Bear will break your heart.
Note that Mark erroneously predicted another win for Grazer in Fat Bear Week. She was instead defeated in the semis in a huge shocker! Who will be voted chonkiest boi?

Sorry to hear that! I just tried a bunch and they worked. Which ones aren't working for you?
First looks at SILOS and Ichor by Reiner Knizia (who?), as well as Fabio Lopiano's latest co-design Ayar: Children of the Sun! Plus, a wide-ranging discussion of nostalgia and how it impacts our hobby lives.

Never really left academia's grip, frankly!
New episodes! We are spoiled for choice in terms of excellent hobbyist trick-taking games, so we talk about some of our recent favourites. Solo, co-op, two-player, what can't trick-taking do?
