Thank goodness there’s so many good games to play while waiting. 😁

Hoo boy, what a sad story. I accidentally opted for one wave shipping, which means I don’t get ANY of it until all of the expansion material ship. My fault completely. But I’m still very excited!

That’s amazing! And look at the prices: D&D and Dark Tower are both $39.99. Not anymore!

Oh boy! I remember Dizzy Dizzy Dinosaur! Here’s one of my old favorites going back a looong way!

We’ll actually be doing a nostalgia night with D&D Labyrinth, Solar Quest, and Guillotine next weekend. You’ll likely be hearing our thoughts on how these classics held up on a future episode. This was inspired by your trivia questions on the anniversary episode. Thanks for the inspiration!

I will for sure!

Hey now … Just kidding! 😄 Leanne was an amazing quizmaster and a great cohost for the show. This will go down as one of my favorite episodes ever. So many great memories!

Both of those seem like a good additions. Even if you don’t have a fifth player, having more variety would be cool in this game. I enjoy the factions. I also found it a little intimidating at first, but was also surprised at how streamlined and intuitive the gameplay mechanisms were.

Yeah. It’s definitely worth another try or two. How did you feel about it?

I’ve just played the base game. And maybe the ending felt a little quick or anticlimactic because, at least to me, this game doesn’t feel as 4Xy as a lot of 4X games. Maybe that’s because none of us seemed to feel terribly confident about battles, or maybe it was the end game conditions.

Well said, Derek! Completely agree. I haven’t tried Royal Visit, but maybe I need to. My BGHT colleagues also tell me that Rebirth is fun. Have you tried that one?
