January in Games
January went by in a blur for me! With the new year starting on a Thursday and then we had a big snow/ice storm in Maryland that shut down the the state for pretty much the whole last week of the month, it really felt like it was just here and then gone! But I did get some games…

Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.
Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.
This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.
Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.

I backed the 1st printing of this game and not only is the production GORGEOUS but it is a solid 2-player logic puzzle. The first edition already had lots of different play modes so I’m really curious to see what the Variance expansion adds!

In the wake of a violent immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, TikTok users reported they were unable to upload videos critical of ICE.
The controversy emerged days after TikTok’s U.S. operations were acquired by a consortium led by Oracle, which was co-founded by Trump loyalist Larry Ellison.

Social media as state media
Silicon Valley was once viewed as a tool for liberation. Now, from blocking apps to banning groups, it is helping the White House suppress dissent.

As part of a campaign with Come Round and University Games, I received a review copy of their Murder Mystery Party game - The Night Hunter in exchange for an honest review. This game is a great fit for fans of 'Mindhunter' or 'Hannibal' or gruesome true crime stories. After opening the first case file, I was immediately think about the Golden State Killer case from the 1970s and 1980s (which I know about from reading 'I'll be gone in the dark' back in 2020).

Need a new anime to watch after finishing ‘Frieren’ - suggestions please?
We have also watched and enjoyed:
Delicious in Dungeon

Attack on Titan (mostly)
Trigun (new and old though I prefer new)
Just want good story, good characters and maybe only a few seasons (sorry One Piece fans)
