Episode 26 - Heartbreakers, Part 1

Hi, folks. This month, we...we... I'm sorry. I'll get it together. Give me a minute. (Blows nose noisily.) This month we're talking about the games that broke our hearts...the ones we really, really wanted to love, but that ended up just making us miserable. (Almost as miserable as our continued COVID-caused audio deficiencies, for which we continue to apologize.) Among our melancholy memories: Brian gets all noir up in here. A game board worthy of a third-grade book report. Some gorgeous miniatures from a lousy game. Some other thematically identical gorgeous miniatures from a different game, which we have not identified as lousy. Jayson reminds Mike of a game he hated so much that he blocked it from his memory. What games do you think Part 2 will hold? What are the games that broke your heart? Please let us know! As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments on any or all of these items, and especially a review on iTunes if you have the time and inclination!
