Extra for those who love Rhys and Feyre
I dwelled in these more settled and happy times for Feyre and Rhysand and it was pleasant to witness. I lived for the expansion on Azriel, Cassian, Nesta, Elain and even Tamlin. I want more of those ‘Illyrian babies’, so much more.

It did lack a bit of excitement but then, you can’t have everything if you’re getting the settled, happy times. It does make me long for the next in the series, however and I’ll never be ready to be done with Fey-sand.

Not Enough Game
I really wanted to like Exploding Kittens. I Kickstartered the original. I bought the expansion hoping things would be better. Sadly, under the theme and the cute funny art, there really isn't much of a game here. Now it sits under other things in my small games closet and the large box for the expansion gets in the way when I am moving things around.

When people come over to play games, this is one of the games they always pull out wanting to try and this is always one of the games I try very hard to persuade them to put back into the dark corner of the gaming closet. When I first played it I though the art was nice and the theme was fun and I hoped I had missed something about the gameplay. But over time, as more people pull it out of the game closet and I am unable to persuade them otherwise I realize that there is very little here at all to make this game re-playable unless you are totally blind drunk - which I guess may be the point.

Hey - at least I don't have to wear rubber crab claws for this one.
