The vault keeps opening as Lost Episode Week continues! Another long buried recording has escaped the archives after being banished years ago during our Great Copyright Purge, back when Producer Audra thought it was totally fine to drop copyrighted music straight into the podcast. Turns out… it was not. After boldly inserting Pure Imagination from the classic film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder, the episode was immediately sent to the podcast shadow realm. Audra has since been… relieved of her duties.

But like a chocolate bar hiding a shiny surprise, this episode has finally been rediscovered and re uploaded for your listening pleasure.

In this resurrected episode of The Gateway Gamers Podcast, Bryan and RP crack open The Golden Ticket Game from Buffalo Games. Inspired by the world of Wonka, this family friendly board game has players racing through a candy coated adventure in hopes of earning Wonkas favor to run the factory.

The Gateway Gamers break down the gameplay mechanics, discuss how well it captures the Wonka theme, and debate whether this sugary adaptation is a sweet treat for game night or something that should be tossed in the chocolate river.
