We talk about out of the box games doing something totally different. To go along with that main topic we preview Once Upon a Line, a game that has you scratching off the board like a lottery ticket. We also review Dice Kingdoms of Valeria and follow that with a look at some birthday gaming and first thoughts on Weather Machine.
