Episode 365 – Tantrum Con with Jeremy Pike

Welcome to Jeremy Pike, staff writer! We’ll talk about how he joined our team, and what he did at Tantrum Con 2024.

365 fact

Why is a year 365 days? Because that’s how many times the Earth spins on its axis while making a complete trip around the sun. And, of course, it’s not exactly 365 either. It’s closer to 365.25, which is why we have an extra day every four years. But it’s a smidgeon less than 365.25, so we skip the leap year every century, except we have one every multiple of 400 years as another slight correction.

What We’ve Been Playing

Echidna Shuffle
Get Bit! – The new bath-toy theme is cute. Andrew suggests we play this using gingerbread men for the swimmers.
ArcheOlogic
Ecosystem: Savanna (our review)
First in Flight
Mycelia (don’t mistake this for any other mushroom-themed games! It’s pink and adorable. Listen to the interview from PAX Unplugged.)
Chicken!
Redwood – “if Tang Garden and Photosynthesis had a baby, and gave it a photography theme”
Picky Pixie – a competitive clue-giving game from Elizabeth Hargrave & Button Shy. Reminds us a little of Visitor in Blackwood Grove.

Holiday Hijinks: The Turkey Trial – the most approachable Holiday Hijinks yet, in our opinion. (The Birthday Burglary is also very good with kids.)
