On paper, Sounds Fishy is a slam dunk. I’m a fan of Big Potato projects and love its social deduction games, so this exercise in separating truth from lies must be a shoo-in as a new favorite. Right?Well, sort of. The team’s caught a clever idea in its net for Sounds Fishy, and there’s plenty of fun to be had as you try to trick your way to victory. However, something I can’t quite put my finger on holds it back from standing shoulder to shoulder with the ultimate party board games.What is it, and how does it work?Like many…

When Elana Brundyn stepped down as CEO of Cape Town’s prestigious Norval Foundation museum and into an advisory role last year, her plan was to enjoy some R&R.
