Game Library: “Da Doo Ron Ron”

“Da Doo Ron Ron” is both a jaunty short-form decider as well as a charming narrative song game although I, sadly, rarely see the second played in shows.

Game Library: “Inner Monosong”

A game ripe with musical potential, “Inner Monosong” probably ranks amongst my top ten favorite short-form games. Is it in your current repertory?
