We’ve been playing Cypher and Shadows of Malice, and peeking into rulebooks on a few more games. You can expect a review for Cypher this next week, and maybe a couple more games as well. A heads up that next Wednesday will be the day our items are being delivered, so the updates from us may be minimal on that day. Thanks for checking us out and until next time, happy gaming!
