    Great episode as always, guys! Was hoping to hear your thoughts on Reef–maybe next time? I think it is a FANTASTIC puzzle game that can be enjoyed by casual gamers but provides enough of a challenge to appeal to experienced gamers as well. Better than Azul, IMO.

  2. dicehateme says:

    Hey Ben! Thanks for the comment. I figure we’ll talk more about Reef soon. I think it’s a lot of fun, and far more accessible out of the box than Azul. For me, though, I think Azul edges it out. It’s not really that I think it’s a better game, it’s just different and tickles a part of my brain a bit differently than Reef. I really don’t think one negates the other for someone having them in their collection. Both are a ton of fun!

    Also, you’ll be hearing a lot about Scarabya, another puzzler, in the future. More on that soon!
