Ok. The guy is crazy with his kids. Whatever the kids imagine, thats the game. My niece once told me we were playing "Twinkle Spiral". Then we held out our arms spin in a circle while running around the room spinning. It's been 10 years, and apperently I won. I still have no idea what the game even was.

The cat he's just being lazy. You put some double sided sticky take down on the floor in the shape of a maze. Then you keep the toy upwards, so the cat is always looking up. Now you guide the cat so she never looks down, and navigates the maze while not stepping on the tape.

And his wife? Well she's just a prude. A card based system could TOTALLY spice up the bedroom. Oh, you drew this card. Lets see what you gotta do. Looks like you're getting tied up and tickled for 10 minutes. Ok, my turn to draw a card. Looks like I gotta lick your butthole until you cum.....and you're still tied up, so you can't help! Ohh nooooooooo..........slurp slurp slurp

No idea what "Slay the Spire" is so I had to look it up:

Wow, that's pretty incredible that it hadn't reached you all these years. Slay the Spire's predecessor is Dream Quest, which, in combination with the tabletop card game Dominion, spawned a whole subgenre of deck-building games.

Indies' Lies, Pirates Outlaws, Monster Train, Tainted Grail: Conquest, Griftlands, and so many more are all direct descendants of StS. It was as revolutionary to indie gaming as FTL: Faster Than Light and Doukutsu Monogatari (Cave Story) were in their respective genres.

So there's a little bit of indie gaming history for you.

Yeah, I don't have the energy to sift through 500 garbage indie games to find the one gem. ;) As a rule, I don't bother with indie titles.
