5 years ago, Next Move Games published a unique tile-laying game that made huge waves in the board game industry – Azul.

As I look out our front window at the snowy peaks along the Wasatch Range, I’m sure glad there aren’t any Yetis around here. Because if there were, it would make our winter snowshoeing in the mountains a bit more treacherous.
