Our newest player Dan takes the first player token and pitches two main genres of games head to head, mano a mano, a death match to ultimately decide which one is better...i mean it's all subjective but listen anyway.
FIRST PLAYER: Dan
OTHER PLAYERS: Chris P, Rob & Tambo
OVERVIEW
In this episode you'll learn:
- that Tambo has been keeping his backstabbing ways in Betrayal at the House on the Hill
- Chris P is digging getting back into Descent Legends of the Dark
- how Rob faired playing War of the Ring the Card Game with Kerley recently
- that Dan has been rinsed by his kids at Patchwork
