The ultimate VR experience right now, but it’s a lot of money, especially if this is a style of gaming you only want to dabble with right now. You don’t need to hand over $500 for a new Meta Quest headset though, just the newest one.

Hercules is a great tool for these decks since once per turn, he can move any cards that move towards his location away from it. You will need a full movement deck to make him work since you not only need cards that benefit from being moved, you also need the ones that move them....

2024 will not be as big as 2023. How could it be? 2023 boasted at least two generation defining games and was mathematically the strongest year critically in two decades. I feel like I’vewritten those words an awful lot recently, but I just can’t help it. Late December and early January is a time for looking forward to what the next 12 months hold, and this year (or more accurately, following last year) it has a very different tone....

Sometimes a basic difficulty slider just isn’t enough, and I appreciate having the ability to tailor games to fit my interests and play style....
