Base price: $15. 1 player. Play time: ~15 minutes. Buy on Amazon (via What’s Eric Playing?)Logged plays: 11 or so puzzles.  Full disclosure: A review copy of Rubik’s Gridlock was provided by LKPR Marketing. I haven’t gotten a lot of time to do puzzley stuff, lately. The closest I got was Balatro, which, real talk, definitely consumed my entire life for like, a week or two, there. It was awesome. Can’t wait for the horde of casino-themed roguelike imitators. In the meantime, though, I’ve been trying to get a chance to bust out more solo games, like the various Button Shy titles I have and ..read more

That’s the business, I suppose. BGA has been great, though having 30 active games at ..read more

It’s like, twenty minutes to midnight and I forgot all about this section of the review. It’s happened to me before, though, that time half of the review was missing. That was a fun evening. I think there’s almost no better way to write than incredibly quickly and under an intensely tight deadline, albeit a se ..read more

I haven’t written four reviews in one week in a few years, and it’s only Wednesday (as of writing). If I keep this up, I might actually stop being behind and start being ahead for once.

BGG Link Buy on Amazon (via What’s Eric Playing?)Logged plays: 3 It feels like it’s been a while since I covered an Oink game, which is patently false: I covered DroPolter and Rafter Five recently. Maybe it’s a perception of time thing. Who knows? Lately, the days have dragged a bit. I’ve been a bit behind on reviews, whoops, but we’re making progress. The latter part of the month will be mostly crowdfunded games and preorder campaigns, so, look forward to that all happening then. Lots to talk about! At least five games, as far as I ..read more
