I've had enough of board games sitting on my shelf, gathering dust and taking up space. Rent isn't cheap in New York, so if a game wants to stay on my shelf, it needs to earn its keep. Is this a real podcast, or is it just an elaborate ploy to trick my friends into playing more board games? You'll have to tune in to find out.
