We all have someone in our lives who is SO into music that it's honestly worrying.

Three metals that refuse to stay new. Brass, copper and bronze don't get scratched so much as keep a diary — six months in a pocket and yours looks like nobody else's, which is either the entire appeal or deeply irritating, depending on the person. Five things you carry, thirteen items, thirteen makers, and a few honest gaps left open rather than filled with something I don't rate. One warning nobody ever gives you: copper smells. With sweat it will mark your hands and turn your pocket linings a distinguished green. Brass won't. Both are here. Choose your fighter.

Every Friday we'd stare at the same three modern games on the shelf and nobody wanted to play any of them. The kids were reaching for their phones, my partner was half-asleep, and I was one Monopoly fight away from canceling game night forever. Then I started hunting down older games — the weird, funny, surprising ones from decades past — and suddenly everyone actually wanted to show up. If your family game nights feel stale and predictable, this is the lineup that brought ours back to life.
