When game time is limited, getting the most out of the game nights you do have can be important. In addition to sharing our game night optimization tips, we announce our giveaway winners and talk about what we’ve been playing lately, including first thoughts on a couple small box games from Envy Born Games. We finish off with three detailed reviews, including King’s Coalition from new game company Play to Z games, The Crooked Crown, a take that game from Outset Media, and the Jaws Robot Pack for Robot Quest Arena from Wise Wizard Games.
