TCbH Reviews: Recent Episodes
The Cardboard Herald
We give you audio versions of our Tabletop Game Reviews, then talk about our creative processes and additional thoughts on the game.
This is our list, and we hate making lists! In fact, I hate making lists and sometimes wonder why I say we in things that are definitively not a collective. Anyway, links below include the video in question and the video channel itself. I really hope you check it out. Thank you for all of your support. -Jack
