In addition to the top 12 that ray, chris, ruel and I came up with, in the post show I do a full top10 to update my engine building list from a year ago! :)

It was a decade ago that I did my original top 10 engine building games list, so it's about time for an update! :)

Here's the extended edition of the latest R&R, where there's some chitchat catching up after a long absence as well as a whole bunch more spring themed games int he post show!

Hey everybody, spring is in the air and so Ruel, Ray, Chris and I are counting down the best spring games (and getting into a debate about one of them!)

As always, keep the questions coming to [email protected] !! :)
