Accusations of “communist” flying around… so very Election 2025.

I’ve got to find someone to play Dice Forge with me! My nephews are game but they live 800 miles away.

Hierarchy is a very fun two-player perfect information game. That and Tussie Mussie are the ones I keep handy.

Weeks of dwindling evening sunlight and then—bam!—a whole hour gone. How rude.

Also I didn’t see a lot of Max in that trailer. :/

I can’t believe it’s been three years!

That’s a long break for a show starring teenagers.

Yes! To use a soccer analogy, I was the goalie that let the Eyrie score, but the other two players let the Eyrie get the ball all way down field!

To his credit, the Eyrie player played a very clean game. I’ve been Eyrie and put myself in turmoil before.

As usual, I can’t wait to play again.

I taught it too well! The Eyrie player won without a single turmoil! That player does tend to win all the time, even first plays. However, I played the Vagabond for the first time, and my fumbling definitely contributed to the Eyrie’s win.
