BGB Podcast #85 – Episode Too: Attack of the Adjectives
2 Fast 2 Laborious
Kellen’s back, which some might say makes for too many hosts – apt, because we’re an episode of extremes today. We’re talking about games that are too simple, too complicated, too short, or too long, that might otherwise have been among our favourites. Before we venture outside the Goldilocks zone, we talk about Q.E., Cartographers, and City of the Big Shoulders.
