#BoardChitless Episode 46 - Chuck the Dice at the Automa!

This week Tristan and Leki are joined by special guest Darren Marks. Darren is a graphic designer who has worked on games such as 'Gloom of Kilforth' and '1066: Tears to Many Mothers'.

This week chuck dice like crazy people in an attempt to 'Escape the Curse of the Temple', the real time adventure game from Queen Games.

After exhausting our wrists (ahem) from rolling we revisit Jamie Steigmaier's 'Scythe' to see how Morten Pedersen's automa rules change the games dynamic.

This is a spoiler free summary of our experience with the game so feel free to jump in if you want to hear about the Exit The Game series.
