In this episode, Thomas and Al are back in the studio to discuss solo gaming, why there’s a market for it as well as dispelling the tired old myth that claims that solo gamers don’t have any friends.

This time Jamey talks about the expansions to Scythe including The Legendary Box and even explains errata for Scythe regarding a certain faction board combo. He also talks about Charterstone this is being released next week.
