2025 Year in Review

In some ways, the origin story of the podcast can be traced back to Sentinels of the Multiverse. Upon arriving in Kingston, Mark was at a games event at someone's home, and he saw that someone had brought a then-complete set (this was a few expansions ago) of Sentinels. He knew that this person, namely Walker, was a person worth knowing. It therefore seemed fitting that on one of Mark's last days in Kingston that he, Walker, Huey, Dewey, and Louis play Sentinels.

Gazebo

"One day I was sitting in a gazebo, and there was a plaque on the gazebo and it said, 'This gazebo was built by the town in 1863.' That is in the middle of the Civil War. And the whole town built a gazebo. What was that town meeting like? 'All right, everyone, first order of business, we have all the telegrams from Gettysburg with the war dead. Let’s see here. Okay, everyone’s husband and brother and… everyone died. Okay. Josiah, you had something?' 'Yes, I do. How’d you like to be indoors and out of doors all at once? Ever walk into the park with your betrothed and it starts to rain, but you still want to hold hands? Well, may I introduce you to, and my condolences again to everyone, the gazebo!'" -John Mulaney, "Kid Gorgeous at Studio City" Games Played Last Week: 01:29 -Coyote (Spartaco Albertarelli, New Games Order, 2015) 04:07 -Tapple Mini (NPD Toys, The Op Games, 2025) 07:17 -Die fiesen 7 (Jacques Zeimet, Drei Hasen in der Abendsonne, 2015) 09:41 -Manila (Franz-Benno Delonge, Zoch Verlag, 2005) 14:17 -G.I.
