Board games, some video games. I like strategy games with minimal luck.

Have you had a chance to play Apiary yet? A worker placement game with aging workers. And what are they? Space bees! Good times.

Got to play Rebirth & also squeezed in a round of Ra last night. Two very different experiences, but both showcase R.âŻKniziaâs signature eleganceâtight, clever, and deceptively simple. The man really knows how to make games that feel fair⌠even when youâre barely winning. đ˛

Tried Tiny Bookshop on Switchâway outside my usual sports/FPS comfort zone, but this cozy little sim totally surprised me. Yeah, it can get a bit repetitive, but even as someone who doesnât read much, I found the gameplay immersive and charming.

One of my highlights of Origins 2025 was playing The First Monday of October. A great worker placement immersed in theme. At the same time you donât need to love the theme to appreciate the game play.

If you could make everyone at your Thanksgiving table instantly love one game, what would it be? For me, itâs a COIN gameâthen Iâd have more people to play them with! So Iâm obviously coming at this from a recruitment angle. Whatâs your conversion Thanksgiving game? đŚđ˛
