Sure, we sometimes get asked how we became board gamers...but it's time to rebrand that and ask for our board gamer origin stories.
Delightful Dice Tower Podcast cohosts Suzanne Sheldon and Mandi Hutchinson (also founder and cohost of To Die For Games) somehow find the time between gaming, hobbying, and podcasting to drop by and discuss how they became the superpowered, multifaceted board gamers they are today. Now, we've talked about Uwe Rosenberg before, but Mandi wanted to know which other Uwe games to play, and Christina and Suz have some strong suggestions.
Our topics for this show:
- Christina (host): Our board gamer origin stories
- Suzanne (guest): What are our other hobbies outside of board games? Is there any overlap?
- Mandi (guest): Which Uwe Rosenberg-designed games does Mandi need to play?
