Sean was out of town due to work, so we figured we would try something new and record an episode with Moe and Deanna. The two of them discuss one of her favourite styles of games, mystery and escape room board games, and share some of their favourites. They then go on to review Ghost in the Machine from the Mysterious Package Company, Deanna’s favourite mystery game to date. They wrap up with the usual week in review including first thoughts on Doomensions, also from Mysterious Package Company.
