We are playing Disney's Villainous this week. Every time Kiwi typed out the world Villainous he had to check to make how it was spelled, including both times it was in this episode description. It was designed by Prospero Hall and published by Ravensburger in 2018.

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.
