I used to play a lot of Werewolf, back when I had roommates, and I flatter myself that I got pretty good at navigating the many layers of deception and manipulation involved. The werewolves lie, but villagers also sometimes lie-to try to catch someone else in a lie. People change their stories halfway through the game.

Against the odds, the shop grew into a neighborhood staple, known for its eclectic collection of games, community-focused events and welcoming atmosphere. Now, Wolfe is rolling the dice again. On Sept. 12, she opens her second location in , called 3rd Place from the Sun.
Macaraccoon is a layering and contract fulfillment game for 2-5 ambitious bakers who will roll, whisk and frost their way to pastry fame. Gameplay Overview: Macaraccoon, the famous Bakemaster of Sugarmouth, is about to retire. Players take on the role of woodland pastry chefs who will compete in a baking contest to choose Macaraccoon's successor. Throughout the game players will layer transparent bakery cards to match the recipes on order cards and earn points.
Writing board game reviews often sends reviewers down weird research paths to write, hopefully witty, introductions.

But I found EAC is a more commonly used acronym for Estimate at Completion, Equivalent Annual Cost, Election Assistance Commission, and Extended Acute Care, which now has me thinking this game is really about either turtles working in accounting or health care.
