Hanafuda expert and YouTuber Omitsu joins me to chat about this ancient game and how to become a koi koi master. Is koi koi the best game ever? Find out as I rank all 51 games in Clubhouse Games for Switch. I also chat about my final thoughts on Elden Ring, and the news is filled with Final Fantasy shirts, Yoshi pajamas, Kirby stickers, and Earthbound plushies.
