Episode 340: Eternal Decks, Hot Streak, Foundations of Rome
We apologise for some minor sound quality issues this week. We hope you enjoy the pod all the same!
This week join Conor, Lauren and Dana as they discuss their Play Con 2025 highlights, including TTRPGs, big group games and some hot new releases. Conor has been throwing it back playing a game painted so beautifully that all other games are ruined for him, with Foundations of Rome. Lauren is casting aside life, youth, and rest, in her new quest for the eternal - glory! with Eternal Decks. Dana has been the one yelling 'Go Mum!' and has bet her bottom dollar that this was the game of the con, with Hot Streak.
We also cover some major gaming news, question of the pod, and round it out with what has us fired up!
