In this week's episode, Conor, Jules and Joe share what has been hitting their tables. Jules gives us a blast from the past revisiting his humble beginnings with Magic: The Gathering. Joe has been enjoying his latest cup of tea rainy day game in Umbrella, though some of the strategy went over his head. Conor takes the best of both, stirring up storms with an even bigger throwback to the iconic PRG, Dungeons & Dragons.
