To Play or Not To Play . . .

These board game reviews should help answer the question!

Welcome to To Play or Not To Play! There are many places you can find board game reviews online and many of them focus on whether or not you should purchase a game. But that's not my concern here. Money is always a limited resource, but so is time. My game reviews are focused on whether or not a game is worth your time to play. If you enjoy or disagree with a review, please leave a comment! And be sure to either subscribe on this site or follow me on Mastodon or Instagram to be notified whenever a new review goes live!

Here's what I've been playing recently:
