On Sunday, I had some friends over, and we played Heat. It was my first time with the game, and I found it to be a lot of fun.

There's just enough strategy in managing your car's "heat" level. Take on too much, and you'll stall out. Don't take enough risk, and the other players will pull ahead. I accurately captured the tension of racing video games. "Do I floor it and come into the turn quickly, risking spinning out? Or do I brake and take it safely but lose my place?"

Picked up a copy of Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion! I've played the original and know I love it, but that was a friend's copy and we've since split. I'm trying to bring my partner into it though and she's got minimal tolerance for the level of complexity that normal gloomhaven brings, but I've heard JotL of is a slower intro.
