Lone Wolves & Spirits of the Wild: Awakening – Reviews from the Two Top Table at The Game Table Podcast

58 minutes

Anna and Jared settle in to the Two-Top Table this week to discuss two different two player games: Lone Wolves published by Wonderful World Board Games and Spirits of the Wild: Awakening published by Mattel.

Note: Both Wonderful World Board Games and Mattel were kind enough to provide us with a review copy for each of these games. Our intention is to review each game fairly and honestly whether we purchase a game or are given a game for review.
