Raf Reviews - COIN Part 2 A two part series on my favorite game system. Part 1 was about why I like these games so much. Part 2 goes into detail on each of the first 5 titles.

What don’t you like? 5 different people will put these games in 5 different orders and I’d nod at all of them and say “yeah that feels right”. For this article I’ve decided to list them in the order I’m likely to pull them off the shelf. I’m not ranking them 02/26/2017

Raf Reviews - Cuba Libre 90 miles off the coast of Key West sits an enigmatic little island. To some Americans, talk of Cuba conjures up images of white sands, mojitos, and classic American cars cruising through idyllic Spanish-Colonial streets.

Never mind that it’s not actually possible, the first time I posted a picture of 07/07/2016
