The Lonely Shelf: Board Games and Top 5's: Recent Episodes
The Lonely Shelf
Two not-so-lonely fellas who have a LOT of lonely games. Every week we play and discuss one of the games that has been neglected on our shelves for years. We also play and discuss a newer game. To top it all off, we have a Top 5 list that is connected somehow to one of the games we discussed. The list is usually something outside of board games, but every 4th episode it is board game centric.
This week Chris and James discuss lonely game Heroes Wanted, and new game Marvel United. We also list our top 5 comic book characters.
It's the final episode of Spooky Season, and we're joined by our good friend Stephan for a quick discussion on Dead of Winter.
