Ep 12 - Mechs vs Minions, Great Western Trail & Roll Player
This episode we discuss two of 2016's best games: Mechs vs Minions, an amazing co-op programmable movement game; and Great Western Trail, a heavy rondel game with some deck building.  After that we move on to one of the most "thinky" dice games we've ever played, Roll Player.  Along the way we'll imagine chasing dairy cows across the United States, mention that female knights are cool, and wonder if League of Legends characters need sensitivity training.

Ep 10 - Terraforming Mars & Caverna
This episode we discuss Uwe Rosenberg's "Caverna" - a massive worker placement game about dwarven homesteaders, packed to the gills with wooden pieces. We also walk you through one of the most talked about games of late 2016 - "Terraforming Mars".  It's a competitive game where each player is a different corporation trying to out-compete their opponents to terraform the planet as efficiently as possible.  You'll learn why it's awesome, and why you want an aftermarket overlay.
