2022 Look Back and Board Game Awards

Board Game Hot Takes

In Episode 128 we look back at the games we played in 2022 and talk about our biggest hits, and biggest misses in 2022. This includes games that were published in 2022 but also games that were new to us in 2022. We also talk about our Board Game Revelations - the things that changed gaming for us over the last year.

We also discuss a poll on whether there is a price point where you will always buy a game.
