December was a chaotic month. I (Braden) went in for a second cornea procedure right ahead of Christmas right after one in November, and while this one has been much more successful, it has come with the usual need for rest and recovery, so much less posting as a result.

First Turn Games saw a great turnout for Red Dragon Inn by SlugFest Games, Inc. tonight! Laughter and delight resounded through the store tonight, and we even got a rousing round of Helmet Pong in without spooking the other neighboring players!

Sometimes, when you purchase a game, an accessory, or a component, your expectations, however lofty they might be, are exceeded.

BrownCastle Games, we will treasure this Crookinole board and the custom discs - it's truly a work of art.

Our visions were only mildly cryptic and our investigators - especially our youngest one - were on point! Two successful cases, with the second game being completed in 4 rounds on Hard difficulty! We even all got our person of interest correct on the first round!

Last week's board game night featured crazy rounds of Zombie Dice! A huge run with no damage was upended in one roll, a player at 0 won at 13 in 1 turn, and a school bus ran amok!

Join us at First Turn Games in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday nights to be part of historic games like these!
