Adrian signs off his first player run but allowing us all to get our board gaming gripes off our chests in a second round of great hexpectations. It's time to take off our shoes, jump back onto the chez lounge and dive into the inner conscious minds of our players...you have been warned.
FIRST PLAYER: Adrian
OTHER PLAYERS: JP, Becky, Tambo
In this episode you'll learn:
- that JP has been digging a small boxed light game for a change which crossed deck building and an Uno style game in Avant Carde by Resonym
- Adrian continues his Sinister Fish trilogy by playing the latest game in the series Moon
- Becky decides to not talk about board games but her new found love of Walkabout Mini Golf on the VR (MetaQuest)
- Tambo goes back in time to talk dinos in Dinogenics by Ninth Haven Games
- that Adrian is giving the group another chance to offload their board gaming woes with a return to great hexpectations
