Zombicide: Black Plague Edition.
Despite the creepy title and theme, this is a good family game. It’s creepy, tactical, and very cooperative. We played the morning, and I love it!
The Gardens of Victor Hugo.
I am currently reading, Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo. Nobody writes quite like this guy. He comes from an era before the mass media (although newspapers did exist), and therefore he takes on the role of writer, professor, and the … Continue reading
