Elevate your space with the perfect Side Hustle End Table by RENEW. It’s flexible design lets you use this side table beside your couch or tuck it in front of your couch for a perfect space to write, work, or store your snacks and drinks in easy reach. I love the multipurpose functionality and that it doesn’t take up a lot of space while giving the function you need.

The Side Hustle End Table is made the USA with 100% reclaimed chopsticks! RENEW gathers chopsticks saving them from the trash. They are then sorted and sanitized before pressing and designing them into a beautiful reclaimed bamboo surface. I love the finished look and it fits perfectly next to my chair and a half as I only have a limited amount of space beside this couch and it fits both beside and in front of the couch for a variety of options to fit each situation. It was easy to put together and really adds such a beautiful accent to the room.

You’ll love the flexibility of ways to play with Dice Throne and their newest title. First, battle player vs player in this fast paced combat game for 2-6 players. With the Dice Throne: Season Two Battle Chest you’ll be able to select from 8 different heroes each with their own gameplay. Play as either a Gunslinger, Samurai, Tactician, Huntress, Cursed Pirate, Artificer, Seraph, or Vampire Lord. Then battle in a 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 2v2v2, or free-for-all campaign to determine the winner with the last hero or team standing. I love that each player is so unique and keeps the game fun and interesting trying all the different combinations.

Then, bring your Dice Throne heroes over from a battle chest or other set to a brand new cooperative adventure in Dice Throne Adventures expansion. Play with up to 4 players as you go on a dungeon crawl in a campaign over a series of campaigns. After each session, the heroes will gain permanent deck upgrades that will improve your chance to beat the Mad King at the end of the game. If you can complete the challenge, you’ll even unlock secret content to expand the game. It was fun to try a new way to use our favorite Dice Throne heroes as we worked together against one common enemy.

If you enjoy co-op games, you will love the collection of games by Indie Boards & Cards. One of my favorite cooperative deck builder games is their Aeon’s End series. In the newest title in the series, Aeon’s End: Past & Future you’ll choose to either head back to the past or forward to the future in a campaign style game where you play a series of mages and battle against 6 new Nemeses. After you head to the past or the future, you’ll then head the other direction for 2 different twists on this game included in one box!

You will also enjoy Astro Knights Eternity that’s a stand-alone cooperative deck-building game with several scenarios connected by a narrative to let you play through the game as a campaign. This new game series includes similar mechanics we loved in Aeon’s End such as a deck that doesn’t get shuffled and collective goal to defeat the scenario boss together, but now with refreshed mechanics. This game plays with 1-4 players in about 60 minutes. Something I love with this new format is leveling up your character between battles while the bosses ramp up their difficulty as well.
