Have you ever had a gaming moment where it just didn't work, a game you were excited for but fell flat or a game you still love but others just don't like it?  We open up our unique board game therapy session to talk through just that.

FIRST PLAYER: JP
OTHER PLAYERS: Davey, Becky & Kerley

OVERVIEW
In this weeks episode, JP is getting more comfortable being back as first player and opens up our first ever board game therapy session where we all get our gaming moments / dislikes and "hexpectations" off our chests.  So join us on the "chez lounge" for some open discussions.  In this episode you'll learn:
- That Davey has found a great party / trick taking card game in Skull King which sounds fun
- how Dr John Seward gets picked on by Dracula
- our inner thoughts as we sit on the "chez lounge" of great hexpectations
- that Rummikubb triggers Kerley (again!!!)
- which game Becky really dislikes which shocks the group
- how it can feel sometimes when gaming sessions just don't land
- about our board game collection sizes and how we "manage" them from our listeners question
