BERT'S TABLETOP GAMES

Puppies or Poop was an instant hit at our house, our 5 year old picked it up right away and wanted to keep playing it. I think this game is good at 2 players and it really shines at three and four players. When playing with 3 and four players there is a lot more unknown information on the board and it makes the game more challenging. The two player version has a more strategic feel too it. Either way players can enjoy trying to bluff the others at any player count.

What in the world is a Gudnak? According to the fine folks at Chaotic Great Games it is Orcish for "war". Gudnak is a card driven strategy game. There are aspects of area control and deck-building invowhere players are building out the tentacles of an octopus in order to reach some seafood. It sounds easy and it is until the players start playing cards that change the cards others have already played. Players will try to bluff and outwit their opponents in INKTensions coming

Did you know that wombats glow under UV light? Wombats are pretty interesting animals and make for a great card game. Wanted Wombats is the newest game designed by Kaya Miyano (Trio, Panda Panda). Barrel Aged Games is crowdfunding Wanted Wombats this fall (2025). One last wombat fact before we dive into the game. There was an unofficial mascot for the 2000 Sydney Olympics and his name was "Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat".

INKTensions is the third game from Maka Games that include License to Krill and Hissy Fit. INKTensions is a fun game where players are building out the tentacles of an octopus in order to reach some seafood. It sounds easy and it is until the players start playing cards that change the cards others have already played. Players will try to bluff and outwit their opponents in INKTensions coming soon to Kickstarter.
