01:03:25 Outro

We are coming out of the gate almost hot for 2025. We got a very solid Board & Dice game to the table prior to the holiday break called Minos: Dawn of the Bronze Age. This game is like other Board & Dice euros where you really need a plan going into your turn knowing all so well that it is going to be modified at some point. So, you better have a Plan B ready to go. There is a twist to the dice drafting where you need higher numbers move you up a track, but higher numbers also mean you end up possibly not getting all the actions you want because you get bumped by lower numbers. However, you never loose out on doing the action which is nice. Lots going on with this game, so as with similar games, you can’t do it all.

Thanks for putting up with us through 2024 and we hope your 2025 is off to a good start.
