About this episode
The hosts discuss the aging of classic tabletop games, comparing those that have improved over time to those that have not.
Today, Chris, Don, and Jamie gather around the table to reflect on tabletop games of the past and how they've aged over the years. Have these classics matured like a fine wine, growing richer, deeper, and more nuanced with time, or have they gone sour, turning into vinegar? The Founders bring their picks: two games that have stood the test of time, becoming more refined and one that hasn't fared and is now relegated to the back of the kitchen cabinet, only to emerge when we're making deviled eggs. Yes, proper deviled eggs have vinegar in them.
