In this episode, Drop Racers and Drop Racers Battle are the focus. These games were designed by a young man (like less than 10 years old).

Both can be bought from: http://www.ansr-entertainments.com/ They are an absolute delight to play with adults and children alike.

In this episode, I look at three more small roll and write games: QWIXX, QWINTO, & RIPPLE RUSH. Each one is terrific and should be added to your collection. These three have seen plenty of table time, and they did not dent the wallet…too bad. Give me a roll and write that I should try next!
