Description

We play board games having never read the rules. What will we get spot on and dead wrong? Is the game design simple enough for us to figure most of the game out on our own? Or is it too complex for us to make figuring out how to play almost impossible?
After we play with our rules we play the game for real, critique the rules, discuss our likes, dislikes, and compare it to the rules we created.

Is this podcast ridiculous? Absolutely! But we hope that you find our terrible ability to figure out how to play games amusing.

We took one look at the game and basically gave up. We tried for a few minutes and were so overwhelmed by the sheer breadth of icons we took an L.
