Poleana, a fascinating Mexican board game born in 1940s prisons! Players race pieces using dice combos while blocking opponents - it started as an escape from prison life but now it's bringing families together across Mexico City. Love these gaming origin stories!

Tried PlayProp, a Dutch party game at #PAXUnplugged, and I was hilariously bad at it! Fun group game that had everyone laughing. 25% of profits go to building human connections worldwide! I definitely recommend checking it out.
