More opinions on computer games that have been converted into board games!
Among our conversations:
- Which of us played a demo of Civilization: A New Dawn and didn't like it? The answer may shock you!
- We disagree on many things, but we all agree on...post-apocalyptic child labor?
- What's up with This Room?
- A game box that Jayson's doctor won't allow him to lift.
