January 27, 2021 Episode 175 - Bradley's Conspiracy Jumpstart!
Juliet and Tim get the details and lessons from Bradley's NaGaDeMon project, Conspiracy Jumpstart. This sweet Jumpstart format is built to be played Star format, where each player's win condition is eliminating the two players across from them. That means your neighbors are your conspirators, and deals abound.
