“Weekly” Round Up

Where I break away from just board games and talk about all the things that probably distracted me from board games. Video Games Funnel Runners - this game just launched in VERY early access, but a friend was really interested in playing, so the group hopped on.

Kickstarter package marked "delivered" by USPS but not on my porch...there are 2 other houses with addresses that usually get mixed up by my post office but it started storming after 5pm so here's hoping someone the next street over is keeping my game safe and it didn't get porch pirate'd

In a reading slump? See if Jeff Lemire has something new since the last time you read a comic and BOOM you're speed reading again. Read Volume 1 of Minor Arcana last night. First book I've finished in months. Lemire is magic.
