With such an uninspiring name, Whine Night had an uphill battle ahead of it. Firstly, puns are terrible. Secondly, does anyone really use the term “Wine Night?” If not, then it’s an unnecessary pun, especially for a concept people don’t even use? Thirdly, whining is irritating. I’m constantly asking my children to stop whining, so a game invoking it as a central game mechanic is a dangerous choice.
