Not Just A Game Episode 7: Board Games (and Missed Opportunities)

Today we are branching out from the video games for an episode, because we were playing a game the other day and it made us a little cranky. So this episode we will talk about some of our favourite board games and how they make us a little cranky sometimes.

Games mentioned:

  • Ascension
  • Doom (the boardgame)
