On this special #deepdive double episode of #Crank, my 5-Minute #Playdate #GameReview series, I put the spotlight on #Sasquatchers, an awesome game by #ChuckJordan that tauts itself as a "turn-based #tactical #crytpozoology game!" To me, its kind of like #Chess and hunting down #Bigfoot, while taking #snapshots or #selfies with the creatures, too. (here, they're... Continue Reading →
