Also, discussion and experiences with the games played this past week including Clank! Sunken Treasures, Dresden Cooperative Card Games, Mechs vs Minions, and Sherlock Holmes. Keeping it short and sweet this week.

In this episode, GM Thomas is still getting familiar with his editing software. He looks forward to International Tabletop Day this Saturday, April 29 and talks about the games that he’ll be playing during a 33 hour long gaming marathon. Thomas also shares his thoughts about the boardgames Element by Rather Dashing Games and Too Many Bones by Chip Theory Games. He also rants about recent Kickstarter games like Stop Thief! and The 7th Guest and the pros and cons of rebooting an old favorite. Will they live up to the expectation or tarnish what was once fond childhood memories. Have a response or opinion of this week’s topic?
