Our Top 5 Games of 2025

This week we played a game that Angie has been itching to play for quite a while! We also start off the review with a review of the fan-designed bird cards for Wingspan. These cards add a ton of new abilities and asymmetry to the game that are really unique! Special thanks to David Gledhill and Slo-Mo for allowing us to use their song "Boy From the City."

Beacon Patrol and Wingspan Fan-Designed Cards

Dan and PJ discuss Sanctum - a cooperative game similar to the Diablo video game series from CGE. In this game you are killing monsters, collecting loot, equipping that loot and repeating until you battle the final boss! Is it worth your time and money or is it a one-and-done game? Listen to our review as we talk about Diablo, Halo, and so much more!

Sanctum

This week we talk about a new hidden gem we have discovered: Amygdala! This beautiful abstract may look like a tile placement game like Azul, but you are mistaken! This is an area control game taking place inside the brain! Special thanks to David Gledhill and Slo-Mo for allowing us to use their song "Boy From the City."

This week we were so happy to return to the world of Wyrmspan...even if Dan completely sabotaged himself every step of the way! Dragon Academy adds more dragons, caves, guilds, and board to the game...but is it worth it? Does it increase the teach/compexity at all? Join us and find out! Then we discuss the production copy of Cysmic that designer, Jason Blake unboxed live on his discord channel, and we end it with PJ talking about Bughouse Chess, which was taught to him by the students of his Chess Club!
