OH NO.. THIS IS NOT GOOD.
We were booked at Sonder Hotel for PAXU. Sounds like the hotel defaulted on payments to Marriot, and the hotel shut down.
We had 9 rooms booked - for a total of 39 nights. Now what the heck are we supposed to do?!? Marriot is not helping.
This is going to be expensive.

Many new games! INK, Guildlands, No Loose Ends, and more in our new episode! We also talk about tile-laying games, a genre we love. Perhaps most importantly, we address the conclusion of Fat Bear Week.

Highlight: From new to me games, I'd say it's between Hansa, Propolis, and Rowdy Partners.
Lowlight: I very much bounced off of solo Wroth. Need to play multiplayer.
Surprise: Guildlands. Asymmetrical Carcassonne-esque game was way more fun than I thought it would be.

My daughter and her partner are officially puzzle converts! 🎉 After a frustrating experience with a ribbon-cut puzzle, I convinced them to try the "Frog Business" puzzle by Cobble Hill. I'm so glad they did! To read the review visit; is.gd/v5GAHw

Dave Whamond won a Silver Reuben award for the DoodleTown puzzle series he illustrated for Cobble Hill Puzzles. Well deserved recognition! His work is so fun and engaging - it's perfect for puzzles.

How do you organize the pieces with so many books and similar colors? The best strategy is to sort the pieces by the color and style of each cat and the books in each section of the bookshelf. For more details and a close up video visit; is.gd/v5GAHw

We have a new game called Wrexham-Opoly. Yep... you guessed it... it's a property trading game celebrating the Welsh city of Wrexham.
Fun fact! We just shipped our first copy. Where? Not to a store in the UK, but to a retailer by the name of House of Books & Games located in Windsor, Connecticut.

This is a fun one because, well, gnomes. But it also has monthly themed vignettes, so for those who like to do their puzzles "in season", this one works any time. It's called A Happy Gnome Life by Mary Lake-Thompson. Which month has your favourite scene?
