Joined by Wes, the DM for Mile High Dungeon Delvers, our hosts dive into this week's show.

Kickstarter focuses on a massive miniatures game in Tainted Grail and fancy Blood Bowl upgrades with Blizzone. As always the show is wrapped up with a variety of listener feedback.

MHGG List - Top 10 Replacement Games Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

MHGG List - Top 10 Replacement Games

There were a lot of ways this name game for this Top 10 could have gone, but we settled on this.

What are we talking about? We mean those games that once you play, you feel that it makes a previous game totally irrelevant. Tic Tac Toe gets replaced by Connect Four, etc. Whether its because the game gives the same feeling in a shorter time, is more immersive, cleaner, or just plain better.

00:00:50 Top 10 Replacement Games
