This is a show about board games old and new. Decoy and I will be playing and discuss every board game ever made with many friends and guests, and try to figure out what makes games good in today’s booming industry, what made games good back in the old days, and what things look like moving forward. Oh, and we'll rank em against each other for fun too! The music of our show was produced by Francis Snyder. The art of our show was produced by TinTheFoil.
