Operation Barclay is interesting for history buffs. Both players take the roles of WWII intelligence agencies, out-manuevering each other while betting on high-stakes poker hands.

Best for teens and adults. #boardgamereview @25thcentury.games

One player poses as Handler while the table stacks plastic birds onto them. Push your luck to hit scoring targets before the flock wobbles and drops, earning literal bird dropping penalties

Okay, but WHY am I so obsessed with Jump Drive?

We have a bird. His name is Maverick. So naturally, I reviewed a board game where the goal is to balance as many plastic birds as possible on your hand

The Bird is silly, chaotic, ridiculously easy to teach, and yes… there are bird droppings 💩
