Well, we made it to 2025, technically. What new board games are coming out to give us hope for the future?
- Frank describes one of his choices as "big...sprawling...French..."
- Joe is unhappy with Mike's love/hate relationship with Tales of the Arabian Nights
- Has Joe made The Ultimate Crowdfunding Mistake?
- Will Frank go 3-for-3 on Fantasy Name: Dramatic Subtitle?
- The delightful Deep Regrets teaser trailer that sold Jayson on the game
