  • I got a monthly food box for my wife a number of years ago. Each month they sent snacks from a different country.

    I can’t remember which country it was from, but one month we got some round, hard candies. It was one of the most unfortunate things I have ever intentionally put into my mouth.

    I don’t even remember the flavor (licorice, maybe?), because my brain attempted to bleach it out.

    Everything else was usually tasty, though.






  • Strategy favorite: Root - it’s rules-heavy, but each faction functions completely differently, and the art is fantastic.

    Strategy blah: Axis and Allies. It’s more of a history lesson than a game, and I’ve never heard of a game taking less than four hours.

    Chance favorite: Egyptian War (goes by other names, I think). Technically it’s not pure chance, but mostly (which is probably why I like it).

    Chance blah: Left Center Right. The most mind-numbing experience.

    For the record, Bingo isn’t dull if you play it the way those older ladies do, with like 12 cards at a time. Then it’s just a rush of anxiety. Still not fun, but not dull.
