If you’re buying gifts this Christmas and you like to go for the recognition purchase, y’know, “such and such likes that show/film/thing I’ll get them a distantly related book/board game/video game”. Don’t…..just don’t.
No one ever made a good game based on a TV show, ever, even if the show forms a suitable basis for a game they’ll still rush it on the cheap and make sure it sucks beyond belief.
