    Join Jules, Conor and Lauren all the games hitting their tables and faces. Conor's hot take is that the number 1 game, Brass Birmingham, is in fact - good. Jules pours sweat, tears, and mostly blood into Moon Colony Bloodbath. Lauren hasn't been playing much but is there for moral support.

    Question of the Pod: What board game is most likely to turn violent?

    Tell us about the game and share your stories if you have them! Twisted ankle in twister? Clocked in the head in jungle speed? Flipped a table in Monopoly? We want to hear about it!

    Episode 352: Botswana, Exit: Advent Calendar, Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done - Divine Influence

    Join Conor, Lauren and Adrian as they ring in the new year with a whole lot of new games. Adrian recalls his experience with the Exit Advent Calendar - the experience really opened some doors for him. Conor really embraces the theme of Crusaders as he focuses on expansion, giving a Devine take with Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done - Divine Influence. Lauren is playing a delightfully simple game that makes her want to gabber on, nay, sing, with Botswana. 

    Then we round of with a very spirited question of the pod discussion, and finish off with what has us fired up! 

    Question of the Pod: What games would you like to see at Play Con, and why would you like to see them there?
