Balancing everyday responsibilities with hobbies can be tricky,
especially when medical appointments come into play. Dermatology visits,
for example, often feel like interruptions in a busy schedule, but
they’re essential for maintaining long-term health. Whether it’s a
routine skin check or addressing a specific concern, these visits
provide peace of mind and ensure that small issues don’t become larger
ones. But sometimes, as you will hear, we often are confused by the
charges we receive during our visits. Don’t get us wrong, these things
are needed, but it is surprising just how things are billed.
Recently, we played Ayar, a game that has some very enjoyable mechanics, some challenging choices to make, and straight forward gameplay. Then there is Temple Code
which scratches a different itch, with its puzzle-like challenges and
mind-numbing play that feels almost like deciphering ancient mysteries
with friends.
Then there’s Bretwalda, a sweeping strategy game set in
early medieval Britain. Its blend of area control and historical flavor
makes every session feel like a grand contest of wits and could create
lively discussions long after the board is packed away.
APBA Baseball and Baseball Card GM both capture the thrill of
America’s pastime, but they do so in very different ways. APBA Baseball,
which grew up playing, is a classic tabletop simulation that has been
around for decades, using dice and player cards to recreate the strategy
and drama of real games. Where APBA leans into simulation and
tradition, Baseball Card GM emphasizes creativity and collection,
turning the act of managing a team into a dynamic, customizable
experience using real baseball cards. Together, they highlight two
different but equally engaging ways to enjoy baseball beyond the
ballpark.
Thanks for listening and next episode will highlight another year of RDTN
