Pendulum Review + How to Play from “Watch It Played”
Stonemaier games has quickly become one of my favourite board game publishing companies because of a few key factors. First, their titles are generally really, really good. They scale well for the minimum to maximum players, the components included are fantastic, and the strategy is easy to understand, but incredibly deep. When the opportunity to review Pendulum came up, I couldn't wait for yet another amazing Stonemaier experience, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed.

What makes it worse is that this is the area we spend quite a bit of our time, watching TV, cooking, and entertaining guests.

When Creative reached out and said they had the Outlier Air version 2 available, I was intrigued to see if the issues I had with the first pair after a few months were rectified in this one. Let's take a look!
