Infinity Nikki Makes Me Appreciate Its Gacha Approach
is the most recent game in the series, but it's also the latest gacha game to take the gaming community by storm. With adorable outfits, a deceptively dark story, and plenty of content to explore, it's easy to get sucked into this adventure set in the fictional world of Miraland. It turns out that being a stylist and collecting various fashions is a super fun game mechanic, and beating other stylists in Stylist Challenges is rather satisfying.

Hey, have you heard about this game about digging a hole that's coming out next year? It's called A Game About Digging A Hole and that's pretty much what it's about. You dig a hole in your backyard and find treasure and ores and you sell all that stuff and use the money to buy other stuff to make digging go faster and get richer from digging up more stuff to sell, ad nauseum, until you're very rich from digging a hole in A Game About Digging A Hole.

Circus Flohcati Review
Small box card games have been having their moment in the sun lately. Ranging from trick-taking to cooperative engagement, there’s plenty to discover. Sometimes these games pull us in with their intriguing theme or stellar illustrations. Other times, it’s the designer pedigree or unique mechanisms.

Resurgence Review
If you’ll recall from my City of the Living review, I’m always down for a post-apocalyptic city-building game. When I’ve got the spare time, Frostpunk: The Board Game is still my go-to, but that’s pretty heavy and I rarely have the free time to bust it out. So I’m always on the hunt for a new game in the genre that can play quicker, yet still keep my interest.
