This is a game that is not widely distributed but has been in development for a long time by Scott and Anna-Marie Nelson. They invited me to play and talk about this game, and I do so out of genuine interest and not for any financial gain. Please check out this game's page on BGG and hopefully at some point this game will come to Kickstarter.

No poll for this upcoming month, since I have some life events happening later that will put me back on playing newer games.

This podcast episode is a compilation of the top 10 lists of best games released in 2022 from notable board game media personnel, where I ranked all of their lists and scored them, summing them up to make an "objective" top 10 list. Obviously it's subjective to those who reviewed these games, and it's not all inclusive, not to mention this is just for fun, but I thought it was interesting to see what these reviewers had in common to say about these great games!
