Hi friends! Did you know I sometimes play games with Becca Scott on Game the Game? Check out the play through of Tiny Towns!

Welcome to the Party, Pal
Over on BGG W. Eric Martin previewed Die Hard: The Nakatomi Heist Board Game. “Die Hard is for 2-4 players and bears a playing time of 60-90 minutes, with one player taking the role of John McClane and everyone else acting as a terrorist. The game plays out over three acts, mirroring the events of the Die Hard movie, with the actions taken in acts one and two carrying over into the final standoff.”
