I have been a fan of Lost Cities, the two-player card game by Reiner Knizia, for a very long time. When I was offered a chance to check out Lost Cities: Rivals, a two to four player revision of this classic card game, I jumped at the chance.

Feeling the Heat - Start of Summer AMA - Besides answering questions from our chatroom live tonight, we’ve got a lot of feedback from last week's topic of dealing with a stubborn gamer not willing to try new things.

Then for our Bellhop’s Tabletop segment, I’ve got my first thoughts on Katana and Super Cats, some more Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria including solo play and an attempt to play The Mind with my kids.
