How do we cull our massive board game collections? What beginner and advanced deck-building games do we break out for our friends? And which Kickstarter games made us happy...and which made us sad?
Mike Gnade, founder/CEO of Rock Manor Games (Set a Watch, Lawyer Up, and the upcoming Seas of Havoc) is our guest this week.
The topics we each picked for everyone to discuss:
- Christina (host): What deck-building games do we first show to newbies? And then after they need to graduate to something more advanced? (20:54)
- Mike Gnade (guest): Which Kickstarter board games pleasantly surprised you? And which disappointed you? (35:05)
- Shoe (producer): How do you go about culling your board game collection? (51:06)
