What We’re Playing

Amanda: I’m Lost Cities on Board Game Arena. It’s a really fun and easy-to-learn sequential card game for two players where you’re competing to score the most points by playing down cards one after the other on your respective sides of the board. I’ve won more times than I’ve lost so maybe this is the game for me.

Holly: I recently treated myself to the Iki island expansion of Ghost of Tsushima. It’s a lot more difficult than Ghost so it forced me to change my style of gameplay which is wonderful but also frustrating. It’s brilliant. Plus Iki island has animal sanctuaries where you use the 6-axis controller to play a soothing flute song to tame the animals in the area. It has wild cats so I love it and have a million photo mode pics of Jin petting a cat.

About Holly:

Holly is a disabled enby who has spent the majority of their life playing games. Growing up in hospital due to childhood cancer, classic console gaming brought escape and joy to a hard situation. Always a Sega lover at heart, as shown by their classic console collection, the jewel of which is the Dreamcast they bought with their first-ever paycheck. Still a console gamer (PS4), they are a lover of J-RPG’s and obsessed with Kojima’s games, especially the Metal Gear saga to the point of getting a Foxhound tattoo. For Holly, Ludens is their life. Holly’s socials are Twitter: @HollyDspoonieme and PSN: Tiny_Caska.
