I guess I should really ask, “who doesn’t want to win a trophy?” After all, don’t we all love the accolades that come with winning a trophy?
We may not want another thing to dust on our shelves, the the joy of winning something can last a long time.
And it may be even better when you can win a trophy in under 10 minutes!
That’s the way it is in the new game, Trophies, by Facade Games.

This past summer I switched jobs.
The switch was great for me for a number of reasons. One of the cool perks is that there are a bunch of employees that love playing games during lunch breaks.
Since not every game makes a great lunch break game, I’ve been selective on which games to take to the office to play.
A good lunch break game is one that’s quick to set up, relatively quick to play, easy to teach, can accommodate varying numbers of players, has a lot of replay value, and can be enjoyed by almost anyone.
Point Salad has turned out to be a perfect lunch break game!
It also gets lunch break game bonus points for being about food!

Over the years we’ve reviewed a bunch of escape room type games from multiple publishers (4 different publishers to be exact).
Well, today we’re reviewing another set of escape room games from another publisher!

The Deckscape games are cooperative, story-driven games where players work together to solve a mystery or get out of a tough situation. As the name implies, the game is a deck of cards that players work through.

One of our favorite game accessories (if you could call it an accessory) is our Game Canopy game bag.
Any time we want to take some games with us — whether on vacation, or to grandma’s house, or to a game convention, or over to a buddy’s house for game night — we fill our Game Canopy with games and we’re on our way!
While the Game Canopy can fit a bunch of games, not all game boxes are created equal. And unfortunately, this means some of the games we may like to take for a game night away just won’t fit in the Game Canopy.
Well, that’s now a concern of the past — because The Game Canopy Deep Space game bag is set to release!
