The Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game

Have you ever been the one person in a group who’s just not “in” with the “haps” and the “whatnots” and the inside jokes and the references?  Well, rest easy, as Nelson joins you in that boat this week.  We’re playing The Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game, and Nelson is the only one of the group who hasn’t read or listened to the Dresden Files book series.  However, he does jump in feet-first and takes on the role of Harry Dresden, the titular character and supernatural detective. The Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game sees players taking on the role of one of a handful of characters from the series, working together with their character-specific deck of cards to solve mysteries, find clues, defeat enemies, and win a final challenge against the board.  The game is published by Evil Hat Games and retails for about $25-30 depending on the seller.  Even if you’re unfamiliar with the book series, the game proves to be quite fun! This week in alcohols we have Schnell and Junior both drinking beer from Pearl Street Brewery; Schnell is drinking Breakfast Beer and Junior is drinking one of their IPAs, Linalool.  Nelson is, unfortunately, severely disappointed by Onyx Black Lager from Point Brewing Company.  Teej, surprisingly, is back at it with a single-digit ABV beer, Fireside Flannel from Lift Bridge Brewery.
