This month we feature Drop It, the latest release from our friends at Thames & Kosmos, as our Game of the Month. Drop It is an abstract strategy game for two to four players or for two teams.

If you break any of the placement rules you earn zero points instead! Players continue dropping shapes until all of the shapes have been dropped. The player or team with the most points at the end of the game wins! The game features a transparent plastic vertical game board…

One of the things we are passionate about here at Ravenwood Castle and The Malted Meeple is craft beer. We pride ourselves on having an excellent assortment of craft beers for the enjoyment of our guests.

Red Raven Games was brought to life, with the mission to “give players a chance to escape to a new world and enjoy that experience with their…
