BGB Podcast #42 – We’ve Been Co-opted

Stop, collaborate, and listen.

Not everything has to be a competition, because this week we’re talking about cooperation. I know, it’s weird, in some games, you’re not actually trying to beat the other players! We’re counting down our favourite co-op games, “favourite” of course being a relative term in Kalen’s case. Before we put our heads together, we also talk about SSH, Just One, and Hamsterrolle.
