Episode 215 - The Laughing Table Friends Played Hot Games at Geekway To the West! 

Jake alongside fellow Laughing Table Friends members Luke Williams (first time on the pod!) and Jared Ingersoll (returning guest) talk about the fun we had at Geekway To the West 2025. We break our discussion into three awards: best new to me game, best single play, and best moment. We save some time at the end to talk about a few of the other games of note that we played.
