Can You Catch The Night Hunter?

On September 2, 2023

The Night Hunter has been behind bars for over 20 years … or, has he? With a new victim found, and a new case at hand, it’s difficult to believe this is just a copycat. The Bureau is handing you all the information they can. It’s up to you to determine who is committing the crimes, and catch them before they can strike again. Explore the evidence and uncover the truth before it’s too late. Hurry agents, there is no time to waste!

New To Me – August 2023

In New to Me Monthly

Another month of games in the books! I didn’t play a ton of new things this month, but a few were some real gems! What have you been playing lately? New things? Old faves? Making your own games perhaps? In any case – happy gaming as we head into the fall months!

❤️ – Loved It/Definitely Want to Play More (I rate it a 9 – 10)
😄 – Liked It/Will Likely Play Again (I rate it a 7 – 8)
🤷🏻‍♀️ – Okay/Take It or Leave It/Could Play Again (I rate it a 4 – 6)
👎🏻 – Didn’t Like/Would Not Play Again (I rate it a 1 – 3)

😄 Hippocrates – I learned that the key is to not let anyone die. Who would have thought?
🤷🏻‍♀️/😄 Marvel: Damage Control – So, I liked this, but it was so much shorter than I thought, and than I generally like deck builders to be. I need to play it again to determine how I feel about it.
🤷🏻‍♀️The Tree Trimming Game – This felt like more of an activity than a game, especially because it didn’t feel like you could really lose? Review coming soon on that!
😄 Planet Unknown – It has TRACKS, so y’all know I loved it haha!
😄 Murder Mystery Party: The Night Hunter Game – Really good mystery game, review coming very soon!
🤷🏻‍♀️Kids Chronicles: Quest for the Moon Stones – I love the Chronicles of Crime system, this was just a little too light. I’d love a “teen” version that is a little more challenging than this, but a little easier than the normal game.
👎🏻Ra
🤷🏻‍♀️Big Boss
🤷🏻‍♀️Deep Dive

Sometimes, a game will be great, but it will feel like I just need a little bit more. Other times, games feel perfect just as they are, nothing additional needed. There are a bunch of different reasons why an expansion can feel unnecessary to me. Here are 5 games (in no real order) where I feel an expansion is not needed at all for a stellar experience.

[To clarify, I’ll still play these games with expansions included sometimes, I just don’t feel that they are needed to improve the game.]
