The tile laying article looks interesting.

I'm in the process of starting a boardgame bar in Pittsburgh, PA and this magazine is a great way to keep up on what's new and to help expand our library. Thanks!

I always love the great reviews. I had my wife read the Valeria Card Kingdoms review to help her understand its greatness.

"Cult of the New"? Yeah, i think I'd be in danger of that, if budgetary constraints didn't keep me in check!

"Cult of the New" is super topical. I've known for a while that I was overspending dollars on Kickstarter, while underspending hours actually playing games. Clearly (and sadly) I'm not alone. I'm more than happy to fund new projects, but I'm almost doing it as a proxy for real game play. I need to find a better balance. 

Chris!  It was good to meet you a couple of Sunday's back.  I'm grateful for your advice.  Best of luck to you.

This is my first issue Casual Game insider, love how it caters to the casual gamer like myself.

Ooh, I'm new the board game culture and this magazine looks like a lot of fun to read. In fact, I'm tempted to buy the back issues since game reviews and info is timeless! This hobby could do some serious hurt to my pocket book though. ;-) I don't want to fall into the "Cult of the New!"

Got a copy at BGG Con Spring 2017.  Great issue, played several of the games inside at the convention.
