In this episode, we're either relaxing in our garden or going to war over the flowers in Lotus by Renegade Games Studio.  This quick and simple card game about building flowers one petal at a time could make you feel either, depending on how you play.  The "take that" mechanics and Love Me Not mini expansion can definitely feel more cut throat if you want them to.  Listen to find out which way we're leaning and what Jake's real opinion is on "take that".
