Episode 50 - Year-End Wrap-Up 2022

50 episodes? Who'da thunk it??? Regardless, thank you for your support, whether you've been with us since the beginning or are just joining us for the first time. We wouldn't keep doing this without you!

This month, we take a look back at our favorite gaming things from 2022 - mostly, but not exclusively, board games. Among them:

• Jayson says, "I don't know anything about this game, but I'm gonna wait in this big line to get a copy!" (Turns out to have been a good decision.)
• Many of the games on our individual lists are met with, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that one." So lots of good games and poor memories.
• We admire the sheer breadth of T.C. Petty III's game design skills.
• Check those eBay listings carefully before buying, kids! (Also, don't soak your board games in ouzo.)
• Joe unwisely chooses to introduce a game designed by "a bunch of French people".
• Can a Kickstarter stretch goal be too big? Oh, yes.
• 4 out of 5 Ascenters call this the best game of 2022! (Frank is, as usual, Frank.)

Join us next month for the start of our next 50-episode run!
