Disclaimer: A copy of Perch was provided by Inside Up Games for review Hey, do you want to play that bird game? No, not Wingspan, the other one! The area control game! No, not Root, the one with just birds! Right off the bat, the cover art of Perch sets a tone. At...

Tearable Quest – Board Game Review

Once upon a time, I was learning about the difference between lived experiences and observed experiences. The teacher split the class in half. One group sat back and recorded what they saw, while the other group had to run up a staircase, breathing only through a...
