Expect a series of 5 completely uninformed opinions laced with ‘reckons’ and ‘guesses’ - all with a competitive twist. We're hoping to circle back on this episode in 2024 and be overjoyed by quite how wrong we are.
Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they played recently, including Sleuth, MANTIS, and Color Brain: Disney Edition. We then talk about some gaming resolutions and goals we may or may not have made for 2023.
