Episode 140 - The Spooktacular (Can Games Be Scary and Game Recommendations To Play this Spooky Season)

Pumpkin spice is in the air, and we are in the mood for some spooky times with our favorite hobby. In this episode we consider if games can be scary and share recommendations for spooky games to play this fall/halloween season. Hey Interdecisional Spaceship travellers, are you afraid of the dark?

Pre-Planners

New to the list Taverns of Tiefenthal! Santa Monica, Food Chain Magnate, and social deduction games et. al remain in our backlog. Santa Monica will likely be the next deep dive we do!
