The Ascent of Board Games

Episode 44 - Boss Battlers, Part 1


Listen Later

Happy April! No fooling from us, just the first half of a loooong episode about Boss Battlers. Featuring:

  • Frank telling us about an obscure game that's long out of print...or is it?
  • Brian revealing his woeful ignorance of anime, which amuses Jayson no end
  • Joe spending the entire episode trolling Frank (with an assist from Jayson)
  • The proud history of farting monsters and the world's oldest known written joke.
  • You might also enjoy these links:

  • The Letters Page podcast, for all your official Sentinels of the Multiverse needs
  • The Cauldron, for all your unofficial (but very good) Sentinels of the Multiverse needs
  • Come back next month to hear the rest! In the meantime, maybe you could leave us an iTunes review?
