#324: Design Pet Peeves

It is Festivus once again here at SVWAG, where we shall once again vent our collective spleen over features of games that irk us. Sometimes we will assert that our umbrage is righteous and ought to be shared, and other times we will concede we are merely motivated by idiosyncratic pique. Our feelings, in either case, shall not be denied. 00:46 AYURIS: Beowulf: The Legend (Reiner Knizia, KOSMOS, 2005) Games Played Last Week: 04:21 -Terminus (Earl Aspiras and Tom Volpe, Inside Up Games, 2024) 08:53 -For Northwood!
