Kiwi can't help himself. It's jealously really, he wishes he had even a quarter of the ability of Mr. Klemens Franz when it comes to creating artwork. But he doesn't, he doesn't even have 1% of the ability.
Eric decided he'd go camping and not bring any games to play, so instead Kiwi and bP flip the script and bring the Uwe Roseberg game Caverna: Cave Vs Cave to the virtual table. Published in 2017, by then Mayfair and now Asmodee, this is a 2-player rework of his game Caverna: The Cave Farmers.

Kiwi does a really bad Jimmy Stewart impression and an even worse Louis Armstrong impression. Let's just say, Kiwi isn't going to be a SNL cast member anytime soon. Our trio plays It's a Wonderful World designed by Frédéric Guérard and published by La Boîte de Jeu in 2019.

And now that we have your attention ... PANIC!!! Just kidding, don't panic. Or maybe panic, we don't know your situation. Whatever it is, you got this and you'll figure it out. Anyway, we're playing Nine Tiles Panic this week by Jens Merkl and Jean-Claude Pellin. It was published by Oink Games in 2019.
