Tonight we’re talking about achieving thematic depth in board games, including games that get it right and games that get it wrong. We review a game themed on Belgian beers and talk about the games we’ve been playing, including first thoughts on a Dice Kingdoms expansion, the new My Little Pony deck-builder, Downforce and more.
