What if you could never buy a new game again? Which games could you replay forever and ever?
We invited Kellen Laker, Red Tank of the fantastic podcast Board Game Barrage, to answer that question -- mainly so Christina and Kellen could gush over the card game Innovation...and tubes. (You'll just have to listen.)
Plus, we're old hands at gaming these days, so what do we try to keep in mind when introducing brand-spanking newbies to tabletop games? And what has stood out to us as great examples of board game marketing?

- Kellen (guest): Maintaining perspective when introducing new gamers to the hobby (39:12)
