Lives Up to The Hype
I've been hearing about Azul for a good part of the year, and I never thought the game could live up to its hype. But boy was I wrong. If you are in the mood for a complicated Euro, this is not going to be what you are looking for. But this has replaced Ticket to Ride as my go-to game for non-gamers. Most people can easily learn in just a few minutes, and do fairly well their first game. It hasn't been uncommon for someone to win their very first game, even playing against veteran players.

It's also refreshing to see that their devotion to quality parts. This easily could have been a $15 game with poor components, but everything from the tiles to the canvas bag impresses.

Amazing game
Ok, I have never played this game myself but I have watched it being played. I know that's not quite the same thing but I'll take what I can get. Anyway, not flat out scary but definitely creepy enough to keep even big gamers interested. It has a strong plot with unexpected twists all over the place. Once the game is over there are still so many theories as to what happened because the developers did such an awesome job of layering on just enough facts to get people thinking.
The artwork reminds me of Betty Boop meets Steam Boat Willie (not sure is I should know those references but hey I grew up with oldies lol). Even the music and the way the characters move look like an older cartoon. Can't say anything about the controls but I still find myself in love with this game.

Not a full-blooded novel in its own right, this is actually the second compilation of stories featuring Geralt of Rivea, after The Last Wish.

As most gamers will know by now (Witcher III, anyone?), Geralt is a Witcher, who makes his living by hunting Monsters but who also follows his own moral code. While I've never (yet) played that game, I also know that Netflix have a very-soon-to-be-released series based on the character and his world, starring none other than the current incarnation of Superman (Henry Cavill).

As a result, I decided it might be worth-while reading the source material itself first, starting with The Last Wish and now moving onto this. Both those books are pretty much character studies, introducing some key characters in Geralt's life who I'm sure will play larger roles in the full-length novels.
