BGB Podcast #313 – That Don’t Impress Me Much

The only thing worse than coming away from a first game with a really bad impression, is when it takes a really long time to shake. Imagine all the amazing games you’re not playing because of one bad first game! Whether we saw the error of our ways or not, we’re reflecting on the times that games left a mark that took a long time to fade. Before we make our impression, we talk about Things in Rings, Yedo: Deluxe Master Set, and Harmonies.
