Captain Sonar Review
Captain Sonar is a game I hate. That is a strong word, however it is rare that any game leaves me so frustrated and stressed that I need to step away from the table and stop playing. A note of consideration is that I was not the only one to experience this at my table,…

Hanabi is a game seemingly tailor-made for my style of play.
