Fourth game of Cross Bronx Expressway in the books. Finally a victory! Really flabbergasted by this one, but in a good way. The “interaction dynamic” is equal parts narrative and cut throat. Lots of smart little nuggets throughout. Super relevant given current events as well. Review later this week.

Little something different as I work through my board game review backlog. The thumbnail might seem like clickbait. It's not. I believe it. I'm also not a pro handheld reviewer, just someone who's having a ball. Lots of timestamps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XTw...

I'd really love if someone like @boardgamewire.bsky.social or the like could circle the wagons with publishers and see how much damage (in detail) this is doing. Not meant as a "call out" but more a "call to action". Willing to help in whatever way I can. apnews.com/article/trum...

Worlds collide! Been getting more into the Retro game stuff that I pester you folks with. And wanted to share this new thing created by @techdweeb.bsky.social (one of the best Retro Gaming folks).
I'll post the link to his video as a comment. He created a solo "table top" version of Balatro.

I'll put a link to the trailer in a comment. Finished watching The Grim & The Dark: The Search For John Blanche. It was a beautiful exploration of some of the best aspect of miniature gaming and painting... highlighting the parts of that hobby that I find myself the most attuned with.

So this is quite the little treasure. Dr. Finn’s Book Of Solo Strategy And Word Games. Still have a few more to try. There are eight games that can each be played eight times. 15$ on Amazon. I really like the kind-of-modern twist on the old school puzzle/word books. Review next week!

Finished Donkey Kong ‘94 for the Gameboy. Definitely had to look up a couple of things in the later levels. But overall super satisfying bite sized puzzles. On to the GBA sequel! Mario vs. Donkey Kong.
