Sometimes it can be really hard to come up with something snarky or 'funny' to type at this point when it's a game that doesn't have a theme. I can tell you what the theme isn't … and that's Tetris, no matter how closely it resembles Tetris, it is not Tetris. This week, Paxton joins us again as we play Number Drop, published in 2021 by AEG and designed by Florian Sirieix and Benoit Turpin.
