Episode 310: Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow, Umbrella, Dungeons & Dragons

1 hour 23 minutes

In this week's episode, Conor, Jules and Joe share what has been hitting their tables. Jules gives us a blast from the past revisiting his humble beginnings with Magic: The Gathering. Joe has been enjoying his latest cup of tea rainy day game in Umbrella, though some of the strategy went over his head. Conor takes the best of both, stirring up storms with an even bigger throwback to the iconic PRG, Dungeons & Dragons.

There's also the Question of the Pod, what has us fired up lately, and all the regular podcast shenanigans.

New Question of the Pod: What are your thoughts on the popularity of RPGs compared to board games?
