I want to thank people who took the time to read the document and watch the video I shared. It is also important to me that it is understood: I do not believe Matthew, Paula, Monique or Naveen (or anyone else) had involvement (or awareness) of the actions the owner of Game Night Picks took. 1/4

I’m so glad this is getting another outing - it’s been a long-standing favourite (and the solo mode is great). I wish I hadn’t missed out on the Telly Time expansion though

That was the thing that hit me the most - using the magic circle games impart as a restorative break from the horrors of reality

PNP Arcade is now closed.

I'll be posting all of my PNP games to itch for the time being. Today I've added Crownfell, Crownfell: Last Stand, and ExoShip there; I think those were the only ones missing:
