Tim, Chris, and Adam feel just like my real-life board gaming friends (but with better gaming lives than we have). I love that they play games together every month and tell us what they think, with references to other games they like more/less, but also each has their own gaming groups they play with, for more variety. And of course the banter is great too. I live them all but I met Adam IRL first so #teamAdam

Which means, when all three love it you know it’s something you sh... more

Later on, the group discussed the negative effects of AI on the future of board game design and rulebooks, which I whole-heartedly agree with. But by having this invecti... more
