The Innkeeper's Table Bill Giles and Dylan Maltby

It's a very bittersweet moment. Dylan and Bill have sadly decided it's time to step away from the podcast—possibly forever, or perhaps just for a time.
In this extended final episode, the innkeepers look back on the last four years, and how The Innkeeper's Table has affected their lives.
A special, special thanks to all of you listeners. You've made it worthwhile, and we've loved having you along for the ride. Keep in touch, please. Even if we're not posting new episodes, we'd love to hear from you any time at innkeeperstablepodcast@gmail.com.
 
...Seriously. Thank you.

Do you have a favorite game that, somehow, no one else seems to have ever heard of? That's what this week's Top 3 list is about!
In this episode, the innkeepers discuss their top 3 "hidden gems" games—the games that, in spite of being good, somehow have missed the public eye.
What games fall into this category for you? Let us know at innkeeperstablepodcast@gmail.com.

First, we start off with a big announcement.
After the announcement, though, we move into our discussion of one of Dylan's favorite games, Terra Mystica. It's filled with halflings, dwarves, elves, witches, and other mystical creatures who are all just trying to carve out a place in this enchanted world.
Have you ever played Terra Mystica? What did you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts at innkeeperstablepodcast@gmail.com!

Sometimes, a game doesn't need a fancy story or illustrations or any sort of theme. For some games, gameplay is everything.
In this episode, the Innkeepers are taking a look at abstract strategy games—games where it's just the players, the pieces, and the board between them. Some of these games go WAAAAY back.
