Scout - A Game

This holiday season in between all of the festivities, my partner and I got more into board & card games. I literally have started building a relationship with our local game shop GM with how frequently (3x) we've stopped there in the past few weeks. If you're looking for a game that you can take to local cafes and breweries, can be played with 2+ people, and has a moderate level of strategy, look no further than Scout! It's fun, it's fast and it's great even after a couple of seltzers.

Nunchucks

My partner recently gifted me a pair of nunchucks after expressing an interest in learning self-defense. While likely impractical for fighting off the bad guys, they are particularly fun to use, plus I’m always a sucker for learning a new skill that is equally frustrating as it is rewarding.
