Skara Brae takes us to a settlement five thousand years ago, which built and thrived atop a foundation of garbage. It is an unexpectedly clear look at a distant time and place. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/05/29/s...

The new Legendary Edition of Cyclades is both more and less than a straight remake, tweaking the classic formula with its new map, gods, and heroes. It showcases what made Cyclades special in 2009, while also introducing some new issues. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/05/28/c...

Vibes by @xoe.gay is a gentle, low-stakes game about seating students so that they'll vibe with each other. It's a pleasantly unusual game, although I wish it had gone further in characterizing its students. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/05/27/v...

Don't let anybody tell you it's gotta be perfect that first try. It can be stupid, instead.

Thing Thing is another title by @dvcgames.bsky.social, this time tackling the party game format, making for laugh-out-loud arguments that aren't quite as wild or special as the studio's other efforts. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/05/21/t...

Ofrenda is a pleasant but somewhat empty game about arranging a shrine for your departed relatives. I wish it had shown more spirit. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/05/20/o...

Give this one a listen! Well worth your time. (And not only because I got shouted out.)

It was a lovely week! Had a nice family get-together, made progress on some personal projects, and played some weird games. What did you play this past week?

Pretty sure I'm done for the week, so here are the highlights for those who missed out! First, I previewed a forthcoming Martin Wallace game, Casus Belli. The evil empire must manufacture reasons to invade neighboring planets. Until galactic war breaks out, anyway. spacebiff.com/2025/05/12/c...

Corvids by @dvcgames.bsky.social delighted me with something truly unexpected for a board game: its sound design. My review here: spacebiff.com/2025/05/14/c...
