Bob’s back from his trip to 2014, and oh the wonders he’s seen – games that not only were amazing back then, but somehow we’re still talking about today! The counterpoint to our draft of games to last a decade, we’re arguing about the games from ten years ago that are still relevant – BGBBOB style.
