BGB Podcast #12 – More Isn’t Always Better

It just wasn’t the same without Kalen, eh? Better, some might say.

This week, we explain and expound our experiences with expansions. Improvements, tweaks, variability: the benefits are clear, so that’s it, discussion over, right? You’d think so … but then you wouldn’t be us. Step aside, kid, let us do your thinking for you! What does tacking more onto a game mean for all your players? Is it always a good thing? How much is too much? Before we get there, we discuss Altiplano, Omen: A Reign of War, Felicity: The Cat in the Sack, and A Feast for Odin.
