E6The MinnMax Show - The Greatest Games Of The Decade Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

On this week's episode, we rip off the band-aid and break down our game of the year choices for each year throughout the last decade. This is a fun and sometimes painful stroll down memory lane, we also admit where we were completely wrong in retrospect.

Just a reminder, we have our first MinnMax community meetup on Monday, December 9th at 8pm at Bauhaus Brew Labs in Minneapolis. You don't have to be a Patreon supporter to swing by. If you're not in Minneapolis, we're raising money to buy toys for kids stuck in the hospital over the holidays right here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/sweet-toys-for-sick-kids-from-minnmax
