This week we have a panel of judges ready to harshly pass judgment on our terrible game pitches. Brennan, Nick and Jack are 3 gentlemen who created a card game at a T.G.I Fridays. That makes them more than qualified to judge our game pitches on the topic of “the life of a mosquito”. Will Ryan just recycle a roll and move vampire game from the 80’s? Can Ric actually pitch a board game that has an MSRP of under $200?

Reinforcements is a card game coming to Kickstarter from our 3 guest judges. Be sure to visit to Reinforcements Kickstarter campaign when it launches on October 19, 2021. https://www.reinforcementscg.com/
