For many years now, Russ and Craig have had many wide-ranging conversations with folks from all over the gaming world.

This is one of those conversations.

D6G, the lost chapter.

Hey, Rayf, so it's good to see again at Dunks, man.

What do you drink it tonight?

Thank you, thank you. I'm having my medium hot decaf, skin, milk, so it's good to see you again at Dunks, man. What do you drink it tonight? Thank you. Thank you.

I'm having my medium hot decaf, skin milk, and sugar.

Nice. Craig, what do you have?

I am having water. I'm on a big diet. I'm really excited because I'm on a diet too, but I've been rationing my calories for coming into dunks today because my absolutely favorite coffee beverage, which was invented by Starbucks, the first flavor had it, which is the eggnog latte. Oh my gosh. It's now available here at Dunkin' Donuts. Now, the problem with eggnog lattes is that eggnog is one of the highest calorie beverages per, you know, quarter cup. There isn't a plant. You've got to really ration your eggnog consumption, but that's why it's best with

just a, you know, a little bit mixed into your coffee, as opposed to an entire glass of eggna, which is like 600 calories. Yeah, but oh, it's good. I like it. So I recommend it. Dunks has it now. So it's more affordable. instead of paying five bucks for coffee.

You can pay three.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, so,

to what we enjoy are,

our holiday.

You know what I like to do

at the end of, instead of paying five bucks for coffee, you can pay three. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, so,

so what we enjoy are holiday. You know what I like to do at the end of the year? You know, we're enjoying our holiday beverages here. Something is kind of fun to look back. And your pants? What's that? You like to put your hand in your belt pants there? Sometimes like, like Al Bundy. and it's kind of yeah like that um well i do that i so i lean back put my hand in my pants

drink a a nice agnostic Sometimes like Al Bundy, and it's kind of, yeah, like that. Well, I do that.

So I lean back, put my hand in my pants, drink an I-nace, eggnag latte, and think about the year in review from a gaming point of view. Like, what games came out this year? What were we playing? Like, not only what came out this year, but what were we playing in the beginning of January of 2013? This one year, how had the games been playing sort of morphed throughout the year?

What do you guys think of that? Yeah. Oh, I like it. Okay. Sort of a 2013 retrospective. Exactly right. So what, so here we go. So what I've done is I've gone to board game geek, and I've run a little query here and showing all the games I've played in reverse chronological order, in chronological order from January 2013 through this week. I think it'd be fun to go through and look at the ones we're playing and talk about. Let's see. So I'm going to start at the very beginning here. We can talk about what's still around what we've been playing. So one of the ones right in the beginning of the year, the DC comic deck building game was pretty hot. Oh, yeah. That had come out of Gen Con 2012, right? And it was hot right around then. Grave, did you play this one at all? Yes. Now, what did you think about? I'm no, I'm getting that confused by the Marvel Legendaries.

No, I did not play the DC version. Craig, did you play this one at all? That would be a negative ghostwriter. I would not touch it with a 10-foot pole. Yeah, so I played it. Our friend Joel introduced it to me. Craig, don't you mean like a 39 and a half foot pole? Yes, I think a 10-foot pole
