At game night on Friday I got to try out Imploding Kittens, the first expansion to the wildly popular game Exploding Kittens. Kittens exploded and imploded, the future was changed, and I wore the cone of shame–basically everything you need for a fun Friday night! (more…)

Those days are behind us now with Temporum, the latest game from Donald X. Vaccarino, the designer of Dominion! (more…)
