Becky winds down her run of episodes to talk about her favourite game, the game that changed everything, the game that's all about that red planet in our solar system...no not the one by Vital Lacerda the other one...Terraforming Mars.

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

OVERVIEW
In this episode you'll learn:

- Davey breaks down social economic structures in Hegemony...for 7 hours
- Becky devotes an episode to Terraforming Mars which is an important game in our gaming group
