We discuss news and Gen Con results with its winner, Brian Baer. ALSO, here is a PSA about Hondo that comes directly from Atomic Mass Games: "For the Hondo Ohnaka promotion, it is part of Hobby Next. This is the promotional program run by Asmodee. For game stores to be part of it, they need to reach out to their Asmodee Rep, where they can get their allocation for the mini. Their Asmodee Rep will have the information. If they are on the Asmodee Retailer Newsletter, there were a few different communications sent out."
