    Very fun puzzle! Thanks Evan and Malaika! I just re-looked at EIDERS which was one that had me stumped for a while 😂😂

      HOOOO that was a tough one!

        Is it bad I immediately realized it was SETTLERSOFCATAN, despite having rarely played it?

        Top-notch, NYT+ quality puzzle! The theme is great, and too many clever, unique clues to count. Especially loved the chocolatier reference, I had completely forgotten that game existed!

          I liked the theme.

            That was fun! Though I am embarrassed at how long I stared at 17-across missing one letter, even having 33-across.
