Description
House Rules hits all things board games. Join the discussion as we talk about games in general and in particular, why we play them, our impressions of the latest and greatest, and the foibles unique to the hobby. We don't discuss the horrible unfun games (Monopoly, Risk), but instead explore the exciting and expanding world of designer games.
