The Whose Turners take a trip down memory lane and try to dig a little deeper into why we enjoy this hobby so much.  Reminiscing about the 80's / 90's and our experiences of a variety of board games shaping the gamers we are today.

FIRST PLAYER: Dan
OTHER PLAYERS: JP & Becky

OVERVIEW
In this episode you'll learn:
- that Dan has allowed the 'M' word for this episode as it's a safe space
- that Becky has broken Guess Who? and people refuse to play it with her
- The eyes on the dinosaurs in Lost Valley of the Dinosaurs were very comical
- all about our vintage games that help shape us into the responsible adults today...sure
- whether we would bring our past games to the present or our present games to the past in our Would You Rather
