The Ascent of Board Games

Episode 29 - 2020 Year-End Wrap-Up


Listen Later

2020 - what a year, huh? After everything else it's thrown at us, it managed to give us a last-minute technical glitch that made this episode several days late. We're sorry - thanks for bearing with us!

Amazingly, we were still able to come up with an hour's worth of discussion about good things that happened in 2020, as well as a glimpse at what we're hoping will make 2021 a better year (not that it has a high bar to clear there).

  • Mike convinces Frank to spend some money for a change.
  • Jayson fails to find the origin of "Vril," which originated in an obscure novel by the man who brought you "It was a dark and stormy night" (not to mention "the pen is mightier than the sword").
  • Frank abandons board games for computer games (although to be fair, they include some excellent computer games).
  • We get a nice rant from Joe - we haven't had one of those in a while!
  • And a potentially exciting surprise announcement that even WE weren't expecting!
  • As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments on any or all of these items, and especially a review on iTunes if you have the time and inclination!
