Summary: This week, we discuss a few micro/tiny games. These are games that generally fit easily in your pocket or purse. A few cards, a few tokens, a few dice. They’re usually 15 minutes or less to play and easy to pick up.<br> What we played this week:<br> <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1839615594/the-princess-and-the-goblin-a-game-of-daring-escap">The Princess and the Goblin</a> – now with updated rules!
