Prepare thy brow, because it is about to be situated much higher than usual (when listening to this podcast at least).

While it might not be from THAT game company, Sword of the Sea from Giant Squid continues its genetic lineage and - dare we say it? - improves upon its legacy in a multitude of ways. On the tabletop, Ravensburger’s latest spin on the modern board game classic is Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons and, yeah, it’s very VERY good. Plus a charming change of pace with some dinosaur pet pals, via the child-friendly BalaDino from Kiwizou.

All that, and controversial (???) feelings about pumpkin spiced lattes, on Ep233.
