My current addiction. It’s kind of like a slot machine but you can get better at winning. There’s something about how distilled this game is. No narrative or world building, just the pure game mechanic and the tight rougelite gameplay loop. Kinda mathy because you need to do some multiplication in your head to figure out if your hand is gonna create a big enough score, but I’m very sucked in trying to make the ultimate broken combination of cards/jokers. Scores potentially can get so big they need to be represented with scientific notation. I haven’t played too many other card builder games, though I did love Inscryption.

if you like deck builder games this is for you, if you don’t like deck builder games this also might be for you (i wasn’t into them until this one) poker themed but no need for previous poker knowledge, and truly addicting! (also it’s on sale rn on steam till april 1)

I like really abstract board games like chess or go. The rules are usually simple and the fun is in repetition and unlocking patterns in strategy. Quoridor checks all the boxes for me

Card: -The Mind - card game where you act as One Mind and silently try to arrange cards numbered 1-100 w/o speaking. very quick simple and bonding Other: -name that tune - find a random ā€œguess the songā€ playlist on Spotify, hit shuffle, keep score!!! Video Games: -return of the obra dinn - maybe the best video game of all time, you solve the deaths of everyone on board a ghost ship. Super collaborative, actually stunning, perfect to play in a weekend! -unraveled two - you play two little guys made of yarn who are tied together and help each other get over obstacles. Made me cry!

Ate this for the first time last night because it’s been rec’d a bunch of times on here and im in Boston for the week. Borderline psychedelic. This sandwich is insane. You’re all insane. I’m kinda craving another somehow.

Thanks y’all for the fire tips - I had a blast. Just put everyone’s rec’s into a google maps collection so you can find them at the linkšŸ“ My addition is the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown. Built into an old vaudeville theater, the food is solid but the atmosphere is absurd and a must see.
