Episode 188 - Top 10 Games of the '90s

In this episode 3 copilots take on a tall task - rank the top 10 best euro-style board games of the '90s. We try out a wacky new format, it is kind of confusing, but don't worry because Brendan catches on eventually. This episode may be best enjoyed in video format which you can see only on Patreon (free trials are available)!
