Nice one! I have played SET before with a colorblind person who insisted they were not colorblind... it didn't go especially well. (PS I think you have a small typo in "Dolce.")

6D brought a smile to my face twice — when I immediately filled in UNO, and then when I had to go back and correct it!

Fun puzzle Malaika! The clue for SALAMI tripped me up - uptown? 😂

Great Subway misdirection, and best SOA clue ever.

Love the NBA/NFL intersection and the clue for SOA

Just getting caught up on solving, so late to the party, but I loved The Princess Diaries clues!

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

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!

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

If you play your cards right...

How you get these under 30 seconds is beyond me but I totally agree about 11D B)

Lots of great clues!  I was a fan of SLOPE and ODD

for SLOPE I had MILLI first but of course that's wrong.

Wow, I loved this -- fun turns everywhere.

Oof, this was really tough for me. I've never even heard of any of the 15s, so I ended up revealing most of the answers 😕

themeless 5: yang

I liked VACCINE! Tho I'll like it more when we can all get it 😂

nice cluing, particularly for the center acrosses!

Toughie! Great one! (Yes, here's to the VACCINE!)

Almost as tricky to get as the VACCINE but this was so fun!

Woo boy that was tough. Took some guesses which helped topple a few more. Very clever cluing

I am always eagerly looking stuff up after doing your puzzles! Thanks!

The Ideal Bartender

OMG I spent so long trying to parse AGAME as one word 😂 - great puzzle!

If I had to guess I'd say you were a Taylor Swift fan... Also +1 for CAPE-wearing to come back into fashion.

So much good in this. And so soon after the last...you're a machine!

A monster of a grid but so enjoyable to solve!

Bamboozled

love the theme, and some really nice clues in here!

That's what I get when I read too quickly and I put KICKER in the wrong place. Great puzzle!!

I loved the reference to "the stew."  Great cluing overall!

As an older sibling, I appreciated the clue for PESTS.
