Hello! We’re back. I hope you had a nice break. What We’ve Been Playing is our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days – or in this case over the festive break. This week: bears, Jedis, and tears.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, check out our archive.
Root Bear, Playdate
Not to go all conspiracy theorist, but they’ve changed root beer. I don’t know when and I don’t know why, but the final notes of this drink-of-all-drinks now trend towards caramel rather than wintergreen. It no longer goes hard for the dentist! It’s a bit of a disaster.

Anyway, as a fan of root beer and a fan of bears, I had to give Root Bear a go. It’s a Playdate game that everyone with a Playdate seems to love. And I love it too! It’s very, very simple. Your job is to serve root beer to a series of bears. The glass shape changes, the position you have to fill it to changes, and for all I know the bear changes too. You turn the crank to pour and hope for the best. That’s it.
