Micheal and Court get some Disney Lorcana lore, the upcoming MARVEL release for Magic the Gathering, dish about the CATAN National Qualifier hosted at Funk, as well as the fun world record attempt of LARGEST TTRPG EVER PLAYED!
MAIN TOPIC:
Games like CATAN, Pandemic, DIXIT, Arkham Horror, and Ticket To Ride, so frequently appear on the shelves of board gamers, along with box art that sports the accolade of winning multiple awards.
