BGB Podcast #270 – You May Feel a Little Discomfort

Board games are great! Mostly. But as great as they are, we’ve probably all had a moment where, through no fault of the game itself, things got uncomfortable. Whether it’s because of an awkward play, or just particulars of the group dynamic, we look back at some of our most uncomfortable moments. Before we enter the discomfort zone, we talk about Dog Tag Trick, Deal with the Devil, and Yokai Septet.
