Board Game Feature – Star Realms
I’ve talked a lot about my favourite 2-player games, Fox in the Forest Duet is my go-to for a quick 2-player co-op game, and Agent Avenue has been such a new treatthis year. But the game that really opened my eyes to the joys of 2-player games was Star Realms. Both players are trying to lower the opponent’s reputation to 0, by playing a combination of spaceship and space station cards. Ships provide one-off effects, while stations stay in play until they’re destroyed. It’s such a lovely quick, simple little deckbuilder that makes a great entry point to the genre. Come check it out!

Board Game Feature – Cottage Games
It’s cottage season! Instead of just talking about one game, here are a bunch of games that are Colin Guaranteed (Not a real guarantee) to get people laughing, talking, having fun!
Giants Moving Tiny Furniture – A Great game to get up and moving! Move the tiny foam furniture to the other side of the room… Only using your pinkies! Absolute chaos, 10/10.
Dutch Blitz – Ooh this game stresses me out. But it’s a classic cottage game for my in-laws. Unrelated, I promise. It’s like solitaire, but everyone is playing at the same time and there are no turns and you can play on other people’s piles. Absolute chaos, 0/10.
Hues & Cues – The hottest new clue-giving game! try to get the other players to guess a colour on a huge grid of colours by giving one-word, then two-word clues. A really fun way to find out that you have colourblind friends.
The Fox in the Forest – My favourite 2-player game! Plays in 10-15 minutes and the cards fit in a pocket. It’s a trick-taking game, like euchre, but you don’t want to win all the tricks in a round! If either player wins 11 or more of the 13 hands, they get no points for the round. Great combination of bluffing and trick-taking, I love this game so much. There’s also a cooperative version!

Board Game Feature – Hummingbirds
How long is 30 seconds? Hummingbirds is a beautiful quick game about time management and memory. Sand timers are flipped and hidden in the board, then you have to take turns claiming and pulling timers out. But! If you pull out a timer while the sand is still running, you lose points. Do you pull the timer you’re sure is empty? Or risk it for the higher value timer? Lots of fun. Lots of yelling.
