I’m actually delighted to be featuring Gosu X—one of the few times board games to have made it onto this list (I’m simply not as plugged into what board games are coming out, I’m sorry everyone).

Walking through the show floor at PAX East was an overwhelming experience, but it also allowed me to be swept into an entirely new obsession.

It’s a game that is built to destroy you, and in the two sessions I’ve played with my friends it has broken my heart not less than five times.
