Presale starts Wednesday with code BEEFING

This year we had a normal Christmas so we played @amerrill2.bsky.social’s cameo from last year for my daughter Zoe. She’s one now so focused on maybe 50% of it. But every time we play it brings me to tears in a good way.

A dad sits in his easy chair with a book, his pre-teen son stands before him. On the mantlepiece nearby are some family photos but also a mysterious glowing sphere under a glass case.

The #WeirdimonyAlimonyTony intro parody of #MonyMony is the highlight of the annual #AlimonyTonyValimonyShowny and I won’t hear a word against it. Not. One. @cbbworld.bsky.social @pftompkins.bsky.social
