Hard disagree. We went around and around with DirecTV about sports blackouts after they promised us we could get a team in our geographic region. Turns out we couldn’t after we paid for service and nobody could explain why. It was only after submitting a BBB complaint that we actually got the package refunded and were…

My one month later Smash experience: Play it nearly every day.

It’s working for Joe Biden.

NEED’S????  

In before the Musk fanboys find this in their google searches and clog the greys.

I don’t think he’d be better than maybe like a small handful of NBA swingmen at playing in the NBA right now. This is a boring take, but being good in the NBA is hugely about learning how to beat the specific guys who are in the NBA around you. Skills matter a ton, and athleticism matters a ton, but only a guy with…

My vote is gas station chicken salad 

Holy shit, if you can’t trust football coaches & Catholic priests these days who can you trust?

Agricola.

In my mind this is the quintessential worker-placement game. I know it looks like a farming simulator, but it’s also a masterpiece of long-term strategic planning. There are dozens of potential paths to victory, but you have to think five steps ahead if you are going to successfully maneuver around your…

I love Dominion. Each game you play with 10 kingdom card sets which all play off each other differently, and so each game is unique. There are a ridiculous quantity of expansions which add new types of game play. It is good as a 2-player game but really shines with three to four (with an expansion you can technically…

Citadels. The newest version has two expansions built in with several newly added characters. With the added characters there is a ton of replayability, which is exactly what you want in a tabletop game.

Gloomhaven would get my vote.
This is a co-operative game that in my opinion offers the best bang for the buck. Close to 100 scenarios (there are more you can download for free) each scenario is anywhere from 1-3 hours.
Besides the massive amount of content there are very few games so well designed. Even though there…

Terraforming Mars! You, either alone or with other players, race to terraform Mars by raising its oxygen, temperature, and water levels to make it habitable to humans. Single player is a race against time while multiplayer is a race against each other.

Bohnanza - easy to learn, impossible to master, and I have yet to meet somebody who hasn’t had a blast playing this (inexpensive!) card-based bean farming game.

7 wonders, a good mix of strategy to keep it entertaining, but enough luck to not swamp those who haven’t ever played before, overall good game.

Honorable mention goes to Gloomhaven. It’s sprawling, massively complex, deep as the great blue ocean, and extremely intriguing in all the right ways. However, it’s also among the most expensive games out there at an MSRP of 140 USD, requires an aftermarket storage solution of some kind in order to not immediately…

This is dangerously broad, like ‘what’s your favorite video game?’ broad. That being said, if I had to pick a contender to throw into the ring, I’d choose Santorini. Not only is it a wonderfully deft game of strategy and planning, but it’s also mercifully brief, easy to play, fairly cheap, easy to find, and…

I understand the frustrations of these players but if your main source of income comes from streaming a single game (or if you are a content creator of any sort really) and it’s not on your own platform that you built, you have to expect these kinds of developments. You are at the mercy of the platforms in which you…

This is the chance the Spin Doctors have been waiting for!
