An important topic for Becky in that we sometimes under appreciate language independent games so this episode is all about that topic.  We discuss games that we feel are language independent, what classifies then and the pros and cons around them.

FIRST PLAYER: Becky
OTHER PLAYERS: JP, Rob

In this episode you'll learn:

- about JP's latest Lacerda which has hit the table in Inventions: Evolution of Ideas by Eagle-Gryphon Games
- that Rob has managed to play some of his UK Games Expo haul in Gloom of Kilforth by Hall or Nothing
- all about the BGA version of Terraforming Mars as Becky tries to level up her plays
- about our views on language independent games and their place in the hobby
