In this episode, I kick it with Kimberly from Tabletop Tolson. We gush about our favorite games we played in 2025 that weren't released in 2025. Considering we're both omni-gamers, we had a laughter-filled chat about a diverse group of awesome games. Sadly, I realized after the fact, that I skipped over mentioning Argent: The Consortium (?!?!) in my top 10. **facepalm** ...but we did at least put "new" games on each others' radars. Hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks so much for listenin...
