Why do we buy board games? Is it the Spectacular Art of the Cards, Board and Components? Is it the interplay of Players, Mechanics and Theme? Whatever the reason our hosts are going to chat about why they keep games or buy them in the first place.

Neeber, Ralph, Damien and Jol return for another podcast where we chat about the new 2 player sensation Lord of the Rings; Duel for Middle Earth, the relaxing yet satisfying Takaido Duo and the surprisingly satisfactory cooperative Hanabi.

A return to form is coming your way and we can't wait to share it with you.
