A mystery’s afoot
But more modern than Sherlock! Portal Games announced Detective: Season One, a cooperative crime solving game in the Detective line, but a bit shorter and streamlined for family friendliness. It includes three 90-minute cases in different settings and various parameters.

Big deals
Don’t mind how your boxes look? Check out AEG’s big Scratch and Dent sale. They’re all still playable, just might not be the display worthy…

Still Horrible!
In some rebranding, but still as the same great company, Horrible Games has changed their name to Horrible Guild. The term “guild” better represents the company’s identity as “a bigger group of people sharing the same goal: designing, developing and producing cool and innovative games capable of bringing fun to everyone.” And that doesn’t sound like a horrible idea, at all!

The AEG Scratch & Dent Sale is marvelous for me! I got 4 Smash Up expansions and the Bigger Geekier Box, all for $50 in total.
The expansion boxes are going away anyway so I don’t care.
I just hope the BGB isn’t bad.
