Thank goodness, they finally came up with THE definitive guide to how to do everything. Is this what the whole Hitchhiker's Guide 42 thing was all about? Was it cones... cones everywhere? Maybe kiki? Maybe bouba? Please Dick, hang in there, we're sending you good vibes. Let me know if you have any questions about Through the Ages. I know it can be a bear to learn and I'm not convinced that the stepped rule book is as effective as people claim.

Somebody thought it was a good idea to put "board games" in the title for this week's episode when we talk about literally everything but board games.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask you for a niche board game. When you give him the board game, he'll ask for deluxe components. When you make him the components, he'll ask where the stretch goals are. When you invent some stretch goals, he'll tell you that this platform has gotten out of hand. And then he'll be thirsty from all his yapping so he'll ask for a glass of milk. And chances are if he asks for a glass of milk...

There's a new sheriff in town that is laying down the law. They have a game overview in their holster and reference sheet plastered on their butt. They're wearing underpants made of an appendix and a hat made out of examples and illustrations. Yee-haw! You've made your last misplay Ironhide.
