  • Never again was hilarious

    I laughed a lot listening to the groups horror stories.

    My biggest disappointments are the Firefly game (too long and almost no player interaction) and War of the Ring (which by the time I learned how to setup the board all I wanted to do was put it away)

  • My Number 1b Podcast

    This is my 1b for my favorite podcast. BGHT is 1a. The hosts are great with valuable insights. They have convinced me to try and buy a few games based on their opinions. I love that they tell you the current cost as well as ways to deluxify your copy. Currently working my way through the catalogue. Keep up the great work.
