Allfather, Allmama learn more in one game of Splendor than I’ve apparently learned in three years. Why do people say Catan is a better gateway game than this?

I mix a fruity summer vodka drink and play some bangin’ shit from Tricky.

Allfather, Allmama and Lily (that’s the dog) show up on a slow afternoon: Allfather brings the show’s first bottle of Scotch in for Drink of the Week, then shows us Farkle, perhaps the most wholesome way to act out family grudges while inebriated.
