It’s a browser game where you try to enclose the horse in as large a pen as possible. 27 years ago, I was playing Kirby’s Dreamland 2 on my GameBoy Color past lights-out. It was hard but basic. Fast-paced side-scrolling sections gave way to contained areas I had to solve like a puzzle to break out of. I’ve missed it. But now, [Enclose Horse](https://enclose.horse/) scratches and itch I’d gotten so used to having that I didn’t realize it was still there. Between calls or 25-minute focus sessions, I try to enclose the titular horse. I think you’d like it too. A few tips from me, a woefully experienced player: - After placing a wall, you can click it again to un-place it. - Apples are worth extra, bees cost points. - Think in weird shapes.

Now, as I put on the finished touches, it’s Monday morning. I’m looking out my window at a bush in my front lawn whose leaves are each encased in a half inch of ice. My driveway needs shoveling—I’ll get to it in an hour once it’s above freezing. We’re all working at my house. My kids are on their Chromebooks for an eLearning day. My partner is on Zoom with Engineering classes. My dog is in her crate after eating someone’s unattended muffin off the kitchen counter. Everyone’s got something to do. I hope this one finds you warm and dry too. High five, [Justin Hall](https://www.pathwright.com/about#humans)\ Editor, Partner at [Pathwright](https://www.pathwright.com/)
