Our sister podcast Storysmiths just did an episode breaking down Takenoko- An Animated Story, in which they inadvertently created the Bauza-verse. We thought the Tabletop Sessions listeners would appreciate the boardgame themed episode, so we cut out just the part about Takenoko and made a supercut just for you.
