Artificial Intelligence has quietly, then loudly, changed what games can be. It’s no longer a set of simple rules that made ghosts chase Pac-Man. Today AI and machine learning are woven into nearly every stage of a game’s life — design, testing, player experience, even how stories unfold. The trick isn’t just making smarter enemies;…
Bankroll management sounds technical. But at its core it’s human. You can memorize formulas, build spreadsheets, and still lose money because your mind plays tricks. Cognitive biases quietly steer decisions about how much to stake, when to stop, and when to chase losses. Recognizing those mental tugs is the first step toward sharper, steadier money…

The holiday break is prime time to pull everyone off their phones and crowd around the TV. A good Christmas game does more than pass the hours — it makes the room louder in the best way, forces co-operation (or friendly griefing), and leaves you with a story you’ll laugh about next year. Below are…
For many of us, Catan was the first time a board game felt like a small, living world: dice clacked, resources shuffled, and suddenly you were bargaining for brick like your life depended on it.
