Put Your Board Games On A Diet

What have you been playing this week?

I've got a lot of little things to debrief.

Nothing serious, nothing I've played hard enough to get really into.

But a few games I want to shout out as I played them this week.

One is Grabble.

I talked about it last week or two weeks ago.

But this new game from CMYK just continues to be a hit.

Again, you can pull it out, explain it as you're playing it, and it's over in like three minutes.

And inevitably, people want to play it again and again.

because it's just so much fun grabbing those stupid things out of a box and then throwing them back in.

It shouldn't be fun, but it is.

Thank you, CMYK Games, for producing Grapple and producing endless fun for me.

I recently played Ghost Trick during our work game day.

That's the one where you grab a bunch of stuff in your hand and you have to drop things one at a time.

And then if you...

I can't remember how it goes, but eventually you have to pick up a bell if you can't drop the right item.

It's this thing called

Drupalter?

Yeah, it's like a German name for ghost trick or something.

I think it's called ghost trick.

But yeah, you have a bunch of items in your hand.

You're trying to drop them one at a time.

And Gravel reminds me of that game.

Yeah.

Hey, well, Travis, you beat me to the punch because I was actually going to talk about Joe Poulter.
