    29 Fresh Plays from France, with Pénélope from Penelope Gaming

    In this episode, I kick it with my good friend Pénélope from Penelope Gaming for a massive debrief on many of the games we played in Étourvy at Bruno Faidutti's annual gaming gathering. If we had another hour, we could've legally titled this episode "40 Fresh Plays from France", but we were too excited and spoke about some games for a while...and then crammed as many as we could when we discovered how long we were recording.
