Okay, things are a bit different this year. In honour of our 350th episode (a very important milestone), we’re going to combine forces, like … Voltron. I’m the head, and my left and right feet are here with me to collaboratively (yes, you heard right) compile Board Game Barrage’s definitive (definitely definitive) top 50 board games… of all-time!
