BGB Podcast #264: Kellen

We’ve done deep dives into games before, but really when you get down to it, games are just the medium. The substrate. What it’s always been about is people. We hope to pick at the minds of some of the hobby’s best with this format – and until then, we have Kellen. Before we unpack the man, the myth, the legend, we talk about Cuba Libre, Gang of Dice, and Time of Empires. It’s almost time for the listener’s top 20, send us your list!
