Neko Syndicate had me at cat clans. The premise is that a feline-led organized crime clan is vying to take over the sushi trade in Japan. Anyone who has spent any time around cats knows they are diabolical. Cute. But diabolical. Cats are furry little overlords who demand our attention, food, and devotion; on their […]

As most regular readers here probably know, city-building games are my jam. Foundations of Rome is one of my top 5 board games of all time, and I love Frostpunk both in digital format and the board game adaptation.
