We answer a question about our favourite classic games, starting off with a bit of a debate about what makes a game classic.
That is followed by a short talk about the games we’ve been playing. Then we wrap up with a trio of reviews, including Dragon Dice, a classic TSR game that’s still going strong thanks to a new publisher, Targi from KOSMOS, which harkens back to 2012, and the dice-building game KAPOW! from Wize Wizard Games.
