Well, August was WordXWord, which went weawwy* well. I not only got to perform some new pieces to an appreciative audience, but got to collaborate with some other excellent artists on some unique performances. I realize hearing about all that now that you can’t see it isn’t super-fun, but one of my recent columns is basically a poem anyway: “The Funny Part”

On the gaming front, I’ve continued to enjoy Great Western Trail, but the inability to use other players’ buildings reminded me of one of the first worker placement games (and still one of my favorites): Caylus. While many other worker placement games have been made over the years, I think the Provost mechanic still remains unique to Caylus, and it was a pleasure to revisit it.
