BGB Podcast #83 – Dexterous Laboratory

Min max dex.

We’re running components through our fingers this week, because we’re ranking our favourite games that require dexterity. Whether it’s flicking, stacking, or balancing, dexterity games tend to offer a respite from brain burning crunchiness, and a chance to exercise actual muscles. Before our hands tremble, we talk about The Wizard Always Wins, Genoa, and Paku Paku.

Please check out our friend Dean’s new board game comedy web series, Meeple People!
