Episode 066 – Tabletop Games

This episode we’re talking about Tabletop Games (including board games, card games, and role playing games)! But first we spend six minutes talking about long-distance winter driving… Once that’s out of the way we discuss social media for playing card companies, co-operative games, low-cost entry to gaming, and more. Plus! Matthew talks too much about everything.
