The Omnigamers' Club is a book club style podcast for those whose love of games eclipses the divide between analog and digital. Alternating between board games, video games and everything in between, each episode will take a deep dive into one specific game, our thoughts and the conversation around it.

Jedi Survivor
Grab some seat, we’re activating the hyperdrive to a galaxy far far away to discuss Jedi Survivor. Does it embrace the darkness or grow beyond the dichotomy of declaring a game to be good or bad. We discuss the power of nostalgia, AAA feature creep and why we’d do anything for Turgle.
