The new Swing Shot Tower from Mattel is just simple stupid fun. Half Tetherball, Half Carnival Game. 100% stupid mindless #boardgames fun. Definitely a missed opportunity for a more advanced rule set though. youtu.be/OwpJnUz8Cjg

@capstone-games.com & @feuerlandspiele.bsky.social have a winner with the upcoming Greenwood. I think it will end up being my favorite game I played at Gen Con 2026. Simple flow, simultaneous play & 7 Asymetric factions. One to put on your @spielessen.bsky.social list. youtu.be/1ZqCZYle4OU
