A review of Dragon’s Down, a derivate work of Magic Realm. A “cleaned-up” Magic Realm would be a grail game for me …. sounds like they didn’t catch the lightning. This year’s finalists for the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. I have watched/listened to this visualization of Music for 18 Musicians multiple times. Boardgames to Go interviewed Ken Tidwell.
