We're tired... so tired. Tired of eating all these meeples. They all taste the same, sawdusty and hard. Give us something to crunch on with a little kick. Maybe put some gochujang sauce on there or a little truffle oil. In the meantime, we'll go back to swallowing a granola of Everdell berries and Azul tiles.

Sometimes I rub the cardboard tokens of my new games against the cement on my street to make them look like they've been played to death. They just end up looking like they got run over by a cheese grater, but hey, what matters is the satisfaction of saying I'm just better than anyone else that buys new games and plays them right out of the box. Turns out you can also just buy used games. Although, oftentimes they will still come with components that look pristine. In the unfortunate circumstances where my used games come too new, at least I'll be rubbing tokens on the cement for a fraction of the cost.

Don't let the title mislead you. Despite having played a ton of solo-focused games in preparation, Kenny and Tom elect to mostly argue about whether or not Pandemic is a good game. I'd tell you more about it, but I just realized you're just a figment of my imagination. Why must I hurt myself repeatedly? There is no audience... I am but a speck in a simulationist void...
