It's back, and it's spicier, more harrowing, and more lucrative than ever before! It's the Fantasy Draft, and this time we're changing things up by asking you not to vote for favourite games, but for the set that you think will still be relevant ten years from now (AKA the far flung future). Vote to stand a chance to win a gift card for one hundred dollars! Before we say things we'll regret in a decade, we also talk about London (Second Edition), and Spectral.

Adrian signs off his first player run but allowing us all to get our board gaming gripes off our chests in a second round of great hexpectations. It's time to take off our shoes, jump back onto the chez lounge and dive into the inner conscious minds of our players...you have been warned.
FIRST PLAYER: Adrian OTHER PLAYERS: JP, Becky, Tambo
In this episode you'll learn:
- that JP has been digging a small boxed light game for a change which crossed deck building and an Uno style game in Avant Carde by Resonym - Adrian continues his Sinister Fish trilogy by playing the latest game in the series Moon - Becky decides to not talk about board games but her new found love of Walkabout Mini Golf on the VR (MetaQuest) - Tambo goes back in time to talk dinos in Dinogenics by Ninth Haven Games - that Adrian is giving the group another chance to offload their board gaming woes with a return to great hexpectations

Tom, Julie and Eric run through some of their plans for Dice Tower East and Gen Con later this summer before taking a look at the year that was 2004, which was inexplicably 20 years ago. We share a new Tale of Boardgaming Horror, answer a question from the mailbag, and round up our Roses, Thorns, and Hula Hoops.

28:52 - Listener Question: Digital Game Implementations
In the vast panoply of human misfortunes, it is often fruitless to try to rank misery. Was historical tragedy X worse or better than atrocity Y? It seems callous to ask. That said, thanks to the applied research of a retired ethicist with the aid of Reiner Knizia's Zoo Vadis, we have conclusively discovered that it is better to be extorted by a marmoset than assaulted by an armadillo. Thus is human knowledge expanded.

I don’t know about you, but I think there’s something special about the momentum of two player games. The tension, the back and forth. The sensation of making a clever move is so much more palpable than in any other player count. Today we’ll take a look at three two player games, each interesting in its own way, and also two more on our bonus episode.
Our friend Jon from JonGetsGames has designed a game called Spring Cleaning, which we mention in the episode, you can pre-order it here: https://www.newmillindustries.com/store/p/spring-cleaning-preorder or you can play it online on boardgamearena.
