A Lovely Stroll
Today’s game is not one that should need much introduction with praise from reviewers all over the internet and a solid rating on BGG. It’s PARKS. The game has several things going for it from the outset. The first is … Continue reading
I Need a Hero Too
And I don’t think that the one I need is among the Heroes of Tenefyr. It’s not that HoT is a terrible game. It’s not. But nor is it a great one, and I think that’s pretty much what the … Continue reading
