About this episode

Clef and Tim discuss recent board game plays and the implications of taking back actions in games.

In a huge disappointment to everybody, Clef and Tim breeze past all the non-board game talk and get to board games quicker than ever. We talk recent plays of Ark Nova, Antiquity, New York Central, Alliance, Runebound, and Downfall: Conquest of the Third Reich! We also discuss the impact of taking back actions in board games and how we feel about it. Board games start at 3:43!!
