Two Wood for a Wheat

32. Glen More II & Objectionable Themes


Listen Later

Sometimes I look at a board game and think, "That ain't right, man."

Today we look at controversial and objectionable themes in board games -- who gets to decide what's right and what's wrong to include. Hint: it's not Shut Up and Sit Down's responsibility, who we take a few shots at. We explore how a controversial or objectionable theme affects the perception of a game's merit.

We also review Glen More II, a game about producing the most whiskey and sheep in Scotland. Wait, didn't we do this one already? Nope! This one has tile placement, too!
