Mike’s been traveling and missed the last couple of recordings, so we kinda missed him. Kinda. So this week, we got him and the rest of the OG Going Analog Podcast crew together to catch up on life. And life for us means board gaming.

A new episode brings four new topics. Here’s what everyone picked:

1. Shoe was recently “Kickstartled” by a handful of Kickstarter arrivals. He wants to see what everyone’s gotten lately and how they play.
2. Christina’s been playing a lot of roll-and-write games lately, so she wants to chat about the genre and our current faves in it.
3. Last week, we got into an argument over the term “superfiller” (used to describe games in the one-hour range). Mike decided to bring that fight onto the show, so all of you can hear us bickering as well.
4. Finally, Nick talks about The Castles of Burgundy, a fave for a lot of this group. ​
