Welcome to Clickbait Board Games: How to avoid mismatched expectations when choosing games.

This episode we talk about how not to be fooled by a game and how to make sure you get what you expect in the box. Then we get into what we’ve been playing lately, which features a mix of new and old games.

Plus we have three featured reviews, Caution Signs, Shadow Ninjas and The Hornhelm expansion for Cartographers.
