[Ryan] Finally got my copy of Planet Unknown, a game I have been interested in for a long time due to its ability to go up to 6 players as a medium-weight game with a lot of variety. Have only played a 2-player learning game at this point, but I really love the simplicity and lack of downtime, and there are some fun variations (e.g. rover movement) that make the polyomino puzzle feel different from other games in the genre. Looking forward to trying it with a larger group.

[Daniel] My buddy and I got to begin the Dunwich Legacy campaign in Arkham Horror: The Card Game this last month and it did not disappoint. It is amazing how different this game plays depending on what character you are. I went from being Wendy Adams in my last campaign, who was running for her life, to Nathaniel Cho, The Boxer, who is only useful at fighting. The character variety makes each playthrough feel so different. We have a win and a loss under our belt, but onward we go! Stay tuned…

[Ryan] The Golden Ticket Game was a spontaneous thrift store pickup that proved to be a pleasant surprise with its simple but interesting gameplay that leads to the climax of everyone opening their chocolate bars to see who found golden tickets. It has already been a hit with my wife, but I recently read-aloud Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with my 4-year-old (which he absolutely loved), and so this game has been perfect for piggybacking on his interest in the source material. He needs a little help since he can’t read the cards, but can still play and enjoy the excitement of the hidden golden tickets that gives everyone a chance.

[Ryan] Final Girl Series 3 has indeed arrived, and I have been slowly playing through the new content. Lots of cool new design space being explored, and I am excited to replay some of the sets with the rules a little more under my belt. My mega-ranking video for Final Girl Series 1 & 2 content has proven to be popular on the channel, and I do intend to do a similar ranking video for Series 3 once I spend enough time with it. Also considering recording a full playthrough, so perhaps you can look forward to watching me suffer!

[Daniel] With our mother in town, we got to play a three player game of The Quacks of Quedlinberg. This is one of those games that just always delivers. I will never grow tired of building my bag and trying new strategies based off the unique combination of ingredients in each game. And boy do I love those upgraded chip components!

[Ryan] It has been a long time since my wife and I have pulled out Morels, but this simple 2-player card game has really proven to have some longevity for us. It can sometimes be hard for us to find head-to-head games that balance being low enough complexity that my wife will find it enjoyable, but varied enough that I still enjoy it after many plays. The simple constraints around collecting cards and managing when to play sets in Morels just works well, and we always have a good time knocking out a game in less than 20 minutes.
