Tonight we’re talking about how to compare games that are similar and pick a favorite.

As well, we’ve got reviews of Ham Helsing and First Class Mail along with plenty of talk about the games we’ve played lately including first thoughts on Flamecraft Duals, more plays of 3 Witches, and more, even including some digital game plays.

Note: Moe’s audio gets significantly better after the intro segment. We are still experimenting with our new mics.

We’re keeping it simple, answering a question from someone who’s looking for some super simple board game suggestions.

In addition to easy game recommendations, we will be sharing what we’ve been playing lately, including our first play of Pizza Roles, more thoughts on Sanctuary, and more.

We wrap up with reviews of the rather simple Massive-Verse Fighting Card Game Starter Pack, and deep dive the Sagrada Remastered Edition to let you know what’s changed in this new second edition of the classic dice drafting game.

In addition to answering a question about a pretty common game night problem we will be sharing first thoughts on 3 Witches, Cats Vs Cucumbers, Flora Funga and more.

We’ve also got two reviews, of Whoa There Cowboy from grandpa Beck’s games, and a gateway economic game no one should be scared of, Stalk Exchange from The Op.
