Episode 94- Crushing Darlings and Bucking Convention

There was only one week between recording the previous episode and this one, so there isn’t much to talk about in the way of personal game play news. However, we DID manage to tear apart Talisman (as well as Relic by proxy) and Seven Wonders.

Episode 93 – The Gospel According to Exploding Cats

In this episode, we start off with some banter about storming the beaches with dice and the end of the great “Netrunner vs. Doomtown” debate.
