Reading new game manuals while everyone interrupts is a sordid task... Which, here on Torch the Tome, I aim to eliminate and help your gaming circle discover new board games and facilitate immediate gameplay. Each week an episode will be released on a specific board game, outlining setup and gameplay and followed by an interview with the meeple who worked on it. So let's roll!
