Storytime Chess and it proudly proclaims on it it's the most awarded game in history.

Are the including chess in the category? I don't know. I was out. It's actually a fun way to

I actually had that ad pop up in my Facebook feed and I was like really?

I'm not going to that tape but I'm trying to be humble here but I have a shelf behind me that

yeah I should have oh should I put my dice down a little here.

Yeah well Eric was nice enough not to mention that you're talking about some

win that and I don't know I'm always interested in games in general to see what games are

announces awards even if you highly disagree with them it's fun to talk about them.

No okay because look I love mushrooms I really do yeah but you know I suppose every
