[Ad- gifted products] We play a lot of board games and often find mechanics we have previously seen, done in new ways. This week, when we went to Geek Retreat to play Garden Heist, we didn’t realize how different and unique this game would be! The setup itself already feels very different – using the bottom of the box, you basically set up a little house with a little window. Then, outside the house, there is a bunch of trees and garden items placed in a specific order. Meeples start off at the other end of the board, opposite of the house, so that you can see the garden from the house window.

We played this game at our local Geek Retreat on one of our board game nights after school.

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to teenagers and tweens, especially boys, there isn’t a lot out there to buy for them. I think it’s just the age group; they become extremely challenging to purchase gifts or to have interest in anything really. Kai is a big gamer and likes the gym, but one thing he quite enjoys with his friends, is horror. Greepz seems like the absolute perfect thing, as it is a spooky plush range, aimed at teens and adults, who like something a little more creepy and out there.
