Hey hey BATT Family! Thanks for the wait on this main episode to come out! August, even removing Gen Con from the equation, turned into (politely) a lot for the entire BATT crew. Between medical scares and surgeries, job changes, and all manner of other things it just became the month where we ended up needing to take the break. But we're stoked you're still with us and this episode is a lot of fun! We have some serious ups and downs on opinions through this one, so be sure to let us know how you feel about everything by...

Notes!
1) Endless Winter did leave the collection. It made Scott happy, but it was worth it to track down a super hard to find grail game for Mark.
2) Sorry for how clumsy the guys were in this episode. Way more mic knocking than we've had in ages. Gonna blame that on it being very late the night we recorded.
3) Mark picked up Wrath of Fire Mountain at Gen Con 2024 for what it's worth. It took like ten months to table the thing.
4) The Table / Shelf / Trade segment this week got abbreviated because each of the guys brought two games and while the first game from each was short enough, each of their second games went on for over 15 minutes. We left Mark's in because of a later part of the episode, you'll hear Scott's as a standalone review in short order during season 2, and Jason's will be released in a future episode.
5) Since the time of recording, Mark has played Fractured Sky more in both multiplayer and solo. His opinions have not changed at all.
