Why Is This Game So Long?

from So Very Wrong About Games · host Pickaxe

We are staunchly body positive here at SVWAG, but we do prefer our bears fat. "Let me have about me bears that are fat," said Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, or he would have, had he known about the glory that is Fat Bear Week. I guess Caesar wouldn't have been totally down with the democratic aspect of the whole voting thing, but whatever! Exercise your franchise and vote for the moist chonkers bears. https://explore.org/fat-bear-week 01:38 AYURIS: Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Leicester (Changhyun Baek, Flaminia Brasini, Virginio Gigli, Stefano Luperto, and Antonio Tinto, DiceTree Games, 2023) Games Played Last Week: 03:29 -Magical Athlete (Richard Garfield & Takashi Ishida, CMYK, 2025) 10:29 -Revive: Call of the Abyss (Helge Meissner, Kristian Amundsen Østby, Eilif Svensson, and Anna Wermlund, Aporta Games, 2023) 13:19 -River Rats (Mathijs Jansen & Robin Stokkel, Four Suits Studio, 2025) 20:16 -Yokai Septet (Muneyuki Yokouchi, Ninja Star Games, 2018) 24:56 -Amun-Re: The Card Game (Reiner Knizia, Super Meeple, 2017) 31:25 -Regicide Legacy (Paul Abrahams, Luke Badger, and Andy Richdale, Badgers from Mars, 2025) 34:58 -Light Speed: Arena (Leonardo Alese, James Ernest, Tom Jolly, and Emanuele Santellani, Tablescope, 2025) 37:51 -Everdell Silverfrost (James A.
