Closed out game night with some lighter fare: Duck & Cover (always fun) + Tacta, a pleasant surprise!

You know I went in with low expectations kind of expecting a Memoir 44 reskin. But I had a great time! It was a nice surprise. Definitely felt like its own game and I appreciate how easy they made the combat system. Very intuitive and the game itself is nicely made.

📖 Reading James by Percival Everett.
A line that stopped me:

“But the real source of our rage had to go without address, swallowed, repressed.”

Running to the lab means a St Bread post run treat 😋

Those furikake and cream cheese twists are to die for.
