CineGamer: A Board Game Podcast
Once a month, Jason Soto and Toby Merida will talk about a board game that is based on an IP, whether it's a movie, TV show, book, magazine, whatever. If it's based on a existing property, they will play it and talk about it.

Jason and Rob ring in 2023 by talking about a super heavy and complicated board game, based on a popular video game, called Frostpunk, a dystopian alternative timeline game where you have to keep your city warmed up by finding resources to keep a giant furnace active and building shelters for your workers.
