Going Analog editor Mike Zipkin joins Shoe and Christina for several rounds of new word games, and we share our formulas for upgrading our game rooms.
We were sitting on a new stack of word games, so we asked our editor Mike Zipkin (he of fancy game upgrades and beige game tastes) to join us in covering Word Traveler, IIlliterati, Mind Map, and ContraBanter. Plus, upgrading your board games is old news -- how do you upgrade your entire game room?
