BGB Podcast #118 – Of the Utmost Importance

Of course, the most important thing to us is you.

What could be a more important topic than importance itself? This week, we’re talking about the most important board games of the last decade, and what it even means for a board game to be worthy of the label. To us, at least. Before being earnest, we talk about Prêt-à-Porter, Riff Raff, Adventure Games: The Dungeon, and Innovation: Echoes of the Past.
