Returning to Breakout Con

Tonight we’ve got a very special guest, Gwendolen - Moe and Deanna’s daughter, on the show to talk about Breakout Con 2025. We haven’t been to Breakout since 2019 and this was Gwen’s first ever tabletop gaming con experience. Moe and Gwen talk about why more people should attend this Canadian convention and talk about all of the games they played. We wrap up with reviews of two games that the team brought home from Breakout: Sinoda and Maki Master.
