A Bridge Too Far

Today we returned to the exquisite Goose the Market off of Delaware St. in downtown Indy.  As before, we sat in the Enoteca section of their establishment and enjoyed our wine and cheese surrounded by a veritable smorgasbord of fine wines and other beverages!  Claire enjoyed her Piedra Negrarosado and I had the Poggio Anima Lilith.  Both went very well with our cheese plate and we look forward to returning again.  In this abstract, 2 player tactical, territory building game we visit Venice, Italy to place and connect islands together by building bridges across the water.

Great Scott! It's a Paradox!

Today we made a quick stop into Books and Brews to enjoy Dumbledore's Magic Ale's before leaping through time to change the occurrences of the past in this portable journey known as Chrononauts.  Will our missions be fulfilled before we return home, or will our identities get caught in an uber paradox leaving us non-existent?  There's a lot of detail to this game, and like our previous segments we will provide a brief overview of this small card game.

It's a Frap!

In this segment we returned to Sure Shot Coffee for delectable iced mochas and americano's to explore multiple galaxies and colonize planets in Tiny Epic Galaxies.  Through our discoveries we will find resources, score points and gain abilities as we expand our colonizations.  Follow us in this 1 to 5 player journey of dice rolling, area control, resource management, and movement programming to see how great things can come in small packages!

Party On Wayne!

Happy New Year everyone!  Kicking off the new year, we returned to the always enjoyable Redemption Alewerks in Fishers off of 96th St. to play the 2 - 4 player social deduction game, Love Letter: Batman Edition.  A lot of gamers who enjoy social deduction games have more likely than not played the original Love Letter card game.  This version carries a DC comics theme with Batman at the front of the line.  Check out the process of this fun micro game!
