This week, join Lauren, Conor and Jules as they chat about the games hitting their table. Jules is used to laying waste to his opponents, and now he can literally leave them - in Ruins. Conor is hot for this game but she's cold for him, in the expansion Aquatica: Cold Waters. Lauren has been playing some small little card games but is mostly just along for the ride. 

This plus our Question of the Pod recap and finally ending with what has us fired up! (yee-haw)
