Episode 322: Nekojima, Perspectives, Rats of Wistar

This week Jules, Joe and Lauren wax lyrical about the games hitting their table recently, with some very sizzling and some lukewarm receptions. Jules has been practicing his dexterity skills in Nekojima - a game about installing electricity poles without crossing or touching their cables. Joe pieces together all the information to share his perspective on Perspectives - a game about solving mysteries while sharing limited information with friends. To round us off, Lauren and Jules discuss their mixed feelings with the very beautiful looking Rats of Wistar.  They also share the community responses from last week's Question of the Pod, anticipate what games they could play in this week's question, and get fired up for the coming week! New Question of the Pod: What game are you dying to get off your shelf of shame, and how will you get it played?
