We talk about games that feel great to play

Play creates a window to connect in a disconnected world.

While we’ve always shared the same philosophies and values, our hobbies and interests were starting to diverge for a while. That’s when we rediscovered board games. Not only has the hobby allowed us to connect more with each other, but it’s also given even more opportunities to know ourselves more deeply.

We spend as much time analyzing and understanding our experience playing a game as we do getting it to the table (in case it isn’t obvious: we’re neurodivergent). So we figured: maybe others would like to join the conversation! The more we’ve shared, the more our community has grown. Connection begets connection.

We love sharing our unique taste profile and hearing about what makes a great game for you. That’s why you’ll hear us diving deep into the player experience in depth, including the emotions it brings up, as the way a game makes us feel is what keeps us coming back again and again.

Whether you’re here to understand your preferences more deeply, or to share what you already know, we’re happy to have you at the table. Let’s play.

Dual-Certified Coach, System Navigator, & Tactical Dreamer

Madeline loves when great mechanics meet a beautiful theme.

As a deeply sensory human with a highly strategic mind, you’ll mostly hear her focusing on how smooth or satisfying the game is to play. She’s a puzzle master who is usually thinking a few moves ahead while she waits for everyone to take their turn. She loves to do a teach, and her favorite result is when everyone feels like they’ve played a great game.
