A few episodes ago, we started the Board Game Road Trip. Ben Begeal (PA) and Jason Tagmire (NJ) took a stab at making a game and passing it down the line. Well the first in line is Benny Sperling all the way in Texas. Ben and Benny met up and made drastic changes to the game. It's now called Paint The Roses Red, with an all new theme and a whole bunch of new mechanics.
