Summary

Everybody, pick up your pencils! No, you're not having another stress dream about being back at school. We've just finally found a roll-n-write game that we absolutely love. It's called Welcome To, and podcast #82 starts with an explanation of what it is, and why you should get excited for the release date in September.

And that's just the beginning of this... peculiarly positive cast. Paul and Quinns soon move on to the happy kitchens of Wok Star (3rd edition), there's talk of the fun they had in Fungi, and of the surprisingly strong Champions of Midgard. There's also some disappointment about Village Attacks, but it wouldn't be a SU&SD podcast without some vigorous complaining, would it?

Finally, the pair end with a particularly sticky reader mail. Has their taste in games changed with time? And if so, how?

Welcome To…, Wok Star, Fungi, Village Attacks, Champions of Midgard, The Castles of Burgundy: The Dice Game, Ganz Schön Clever, Burgle Bros., Fugitive, Star Wars: Imperial Assault, Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition), Blueprints
