BGB Podcast #334 – Nothing’s Done It Better
Well, we finally did it. We played CATAN, and it was … good! And then we started wondering, is there anything that’s done quite the same thing that that game is doing? And then that got us wondering how many games there are like that, where it’s genuinely hard to say that nothing has done it better since. And then that got us wondering if, instead of all this wondering, we should record a podcast episode. Before we wander, we talk about Box Two, Catan: Cities & Knights, and An Infamous Traffic.
