Skeletons is a game I picked up, read the back, and then bought it all in about 30 seconds. It's LARPY as many of Jason's games are. Sitting in the dark for a telescoping amount of time is.... breathtaking.
Goddamn. Just.
Goddamn.

Wanderhome kind of exploded onto the scene when Jay Dragon "wrote it in a fugue state during COVID." It's a BoB (Belonging Outside Belonging) game with the gain-a-token/spend-a-token stuff. It's dressed as a Cozy Game™️ of animals going on a journey. But hidden in all that this fascinating idea:

This is my *favorite* thing from the GLoG:
> Roleplaying If you don't understand that bootless goblins are susceptible to intimidation, and proud dwarven kings are not, you are bad at this game. Common sense negotiations are one of the skills that this game tests.
