So you don't forget what this episode is actually about. Seppy is back to chat about Barkane 2, Mind Sweeper and then some Flintlock from Floodgate. Yup, we've finally managed to make him into a marketing person. That's an island in the sea of nonsense, including Vision Quest, some Warchest, plus a chat about Queens Gambit and forced nostalgia.

Show notes

Seppers is back to talk about End of The line after we chat about words meaning other things, King Charles, Mother Theresa, and then chat a little bit about Dungeon Crawler Carl, Energy Empires and Threaded. And we're laughing a lot. So maybe kick back and enjoy three friends mucking about and forgetting this is about board games.
