This is Episode 14, NOT 13 as we say in the recording!
Playing Campaign board games is quite a different experience from normal board gaming! We mean this in the sake of building a community, being able to play it frequently, and the sheer amount of depth many of these games. Frosthaven, Tainted Grail, Aeon's Trespass, and Scythe Rise of Fenris are mentioned.
We also talk about a whole bunch of other stuff after our podcast hiatus, like TI4, civilization, our reviewing process, narrative vs. story vs. plot, and more.

EP13 | Kickstarter Crap
Whether it be Kickstarter, Gamefound, or whatever crowdfunding way to buy your board game, there’s incentives on both ends: Buyer & Seller, for their to be crap included. How can this be avoided, and is it even possible? Should you buy later editions of kickstarters? We talk about our recent board gaming of ISS Vanguard, Tainted Grail, McGordon music (Doom), and even a teensy little bit of Frosthaven.
