Summary

In this show, we talk about Boomerangs, Furnace, The Haunted Mansion: Call of the Spirits, and Escape the Room: The Cursed Dollhouse. Geoff talks about auctions, and we answer a pile of questions. What do we think of Boardgamearena? What to do if you only play one Pandemic Legacy game? What's a tableau? What to do if a rule isn't clear? And many more! Finally, we end the show talking about our favorite one-hit wonders - designers who have only one hit on their hands.
