We discuss what defines a game to us. Then we talk about what games we’ve been playing including Mare Nostrum Empires, Robot Quest Arena, and first plays of both Sentinels of Earth Prime and Words of a Feather.

We’ve got some big announcements, including our first ever Origins meet up, a little award we’ve been nominated for, and some upcoming local events.

We finish up with two reviews: Robot Quest Arena from Wise Wizard Games followed by Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game from Genius Games.
