In this episode, we learn how three is the magic number in Trio!

Trio is a card game designed by Kaya Miyano and published by Happy Camper Games. It handles six players, it comes in a super portable small box, it plays in like 15 or 20 minutes, and it's easy to teach. As a result, it's now one of my go-to games to bring to family gatherings.

I have thoughts about Trio, and so do the 12-year-old and 4-year-old!

In this episode, we grab our press passes and hustle to meet our newspaper’s printing deadline in Fit to Print!

In Fit to Print, a 2023 game designed by Peter McPherson with art by Ian O’Toole and published by Flatout Games, players take on the role of reporters and editors at the various newspapers in Thistleville, one of those charming woodland towns with adorable anthropomorphic animals. The game is played over three rounds—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—with each round seeing players racing the clock to collect stories, photos, and ads and laying them out on their newspaper front pages to score the most points. I’m burying the lede here because Fit to Print’s most notable aspect is that most of the game is played in real-time with players playing simultaneously while racing a timer!

Listen as our 12-year-old media correspondent and I review this delightfully stressful game.
