I have a major problem with Agent Avenue. I cannot win. It is a game that looks beautiful and engages you with its gameplay, but I am not the best spy. I can be an enigma because sometimes I’m very good at deduction games or bluffing games, and other times I am not. Whether it’s…

This week is the time of the year that I affectionately call my season finale. Not only is it the end of the cycle of what I do in higher education, but it is also the culmination of the largest gaming convention of the year. Gen Con is the convention that I call Home, as…

Being in the space of reviewing and rating means that you have to have a system. There’s no basis of comparison without actually saying that you’re comparing things on a scale that makes sense. In the video format that is not easy. There is no simple system to show what you are thinking about games…

This game came across our feed with Capybara Crush. We were immediately intrigued by the cuteness of the art and how it just seemed like something cozy. They were nice enough to send us a review copy and upon getting both games I could see the appeal. First, these are small and easy to travel…
