• IS Jayson actually Agent 47? Probably not. Forget we said anything.
• Frank calling out Reiner Knizia within 4 minutes of the episode start
• "What is fish?" Help us, Jane Austen! 
• Is this the first Eurogame? 
• What happens when you take the auctions out of a game that's all about auctions? 
• What is a Dutch Auction, and should anyone be offended by the term?
