I was clad they were clear about opening it.

I know some past legacy games had things like this and you were just supposed to eventually give up and open them, and some people opened them right when they opened the box.

I like that this was exlicit and want to make sure people know it.

Us either.

These unique small card games that you get to play with NPCs is such a big part of CRPGs and I thought it was awesome to find this done in a board game. That alone made me so happy.

That's now three times in a row I've gotten AI summaries after a search that were factually wrong.

These are useless unless they actually give actual info, stop people from going to actual sites with actual information.

I hate it so much.

With Canada Post on strike we aren't getting any cheques in the mail. We're now tapping into savings to get by this month, so it seems like a good time to remind folks...

We have a patreon! Which is a great way to Tip Your Bellhop! as well as get some bonus content.

How do you organize Tea Witches so that it's quicker to set up next game?

Our goal now it to record on Friday.

It's the first day all three of us are free.

Our topic, the heaviest board games that we actually enjoyed. We'll probably share some other heavy favourites as well.
