BGB Podcast #328 – Anticipation Auction: Games of 2025
Okay, pay attention, this is gonna be different! We’re looking at the rest of 2025, deciding what we think the most well received games of the year are going to be – but then we’re going to be bidding on them, auction style. Whoever’s slate ends up performing best in their categories at the end of the year gets all the glory … and if you vote on who you think is going to win, you could get $50! Before we’re going, going, gone, we talk about Nyakuza, Hooky, and Altay: Dawn of Civilization.
