This one sat in the backlog for a while, and I’m really happy we finally got it to the table. Everdell is a beautifully illustrated, multi-award-winning game with a unique blend of worker placement and tableau-building mechanics. Designed by James A. Wilson and published by Starling Games, it offers a satisfying seasonal rhythm and a charming world full of critters and constructions.

I had the chance to play 'Finspan' this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Initially, I was hesitant, unsure how much it would differentiate itself from its predecessors, 'Wingspan' and 'Wyrmspan'.
However, 'Finspan' stands out with its streamlined gameplay and engaging mechanics. It offers a fresh experience while retaining the satisfying engine-building feel of its predecessors. Smooth, clever, and fun. Definitely worth checking out.
The Dollop is a podcast where comedian Dave Anthony reads a story from American history to his co-host, Gareth Reynolds—who has no idea what the topic will be about. The result is a hilarious, often absurd, and sneakily insightful deep dive into the strange corners of the past. The Dollop proves truth is often stranger (and funnier) than fiction.

I’m grateful to have a place like Lost in Fun here in Lincoln! On rainy days like this, having a clean, climate-controlled space where little ones can run, jump, and play is an absolute lifesaver.
Whether it’s open play or a birthday party, they always do a fantastic job—every event we’ve attended (or hosted!) has been a hit. If you’re looking for a fun indoor spot for kids to burn off some energy, I highly recommend checking them out!
