One day, my dream house will have a dedicated game room!  Until then, the dining room table will have to do! :-)

Tiny Epic Galaxies deserves to succeed for nothing more than their Kickstarter video.

Game room?  Not gonna happen.  Tiny Epic Zombies?  Not in my house.  Renegade Game Studios?  I'll have to find room for more games!  :)

Do people find the print version of the magazine better or worse than the online one?

Games are in the family/kids playroom/schoolroom/movieroom. Game table is in the breakfast/homework/extra table room. Not a perfect solution, but we've made it our own.

Just finished reading the new edition. I'm excited to check out the Chronicles of Crime game advertised on the back cover. I've learned about lots of games through your reviews section in every issue.

Intersting, most of those games I haven't heard of.  I own and have played several times Magic Maze and that is a good one.  Makes me wonder how the others are.

This magazine looks interesting.  I looked at the archive of past issues and am considering subscribing.  Kind of wish it was more than 4 issues per year tho.

I feel like it is time to have a lookup table for Tiny Epic series that tells the core mechanics and type of game for each :)
