Time to 'fess up. We're admitting to all the transgressions we've made in the world of board gaming. We're not proud of it, but there are a lot of games we haven't played that we should have. There are Kickstarters we've overspent on, and some we regret backing. And what would a good confessional be without owning up to our guilty pleasures? Before we ask forgiveness, we also talk about Excape, Race for the Galaxy, and Biblios Dice.

In episode 46 of the Secret Cabal Express, Jamie welcomes Honorary Founder Dan King, The Game Boy Geek, to discuss what traits and qualities games can have that will get us fired up, frothing at the mouth, jumpin out of our pants and wild to buy, play and keep a game in our collections - We're discussing what makes up a board game's X-Factor.

You do you, Walker always says, except he almost never does. Mark always says smoke 'em if you got 'em, despite his never uttering those words and frankly not knowing what they mean. He tried smoking once and didn't enjoy it. Why care about such petty things as truth or data when it feels consistent with a narrative you're peddling? Echoes of contemporary politics abound, as we ponder whether a game needs to be balanced so long as it tells a good tale.
