Tiny Epic Galaxies is a game where players roll dice and select actions to expand their faction’s influence in the galaxy faster than their opponents can.

I got a lot of games at Gen Con 2016. No, really a LOT of games. But I also got to play some games, and while talking about purchases is fun, I’d like to discuss the games I got to play and what I thought about them.

April was a busy month due to Unpub, the first convention of the year for us. On top of that, we’ve tried to play more new-to-us games, leading to 32 different games being played. It was a busy month, so let’s look back at April in review.
