Ambie and Crystal discuss a couple games they've played recently, including The Game: Face to Face and Atmosfear. We then talk about some ways we can play games with people who don't usually play board games.
In todays episode we'll talk about two games that share a common ancestry: Destinies and Descent: Legends of the Dark.
Fun fact, we mention comparing these two games at the end, and then totally forget to do that. But the comparison points should be clear as we go along.
Timestaps:

Minor Mechanical Destinies Spoilers - ( 16:29 )
Spoilers end at - ( 17:50 )
Descent: Legends in the Dark - ( 41:24 )

In another BGDL community spotlight, Jeff Turner, founder of Skip Work Play Games, dives into how to use InDesign to do data merge and speed up your prototyping process.
Data merge makes it easy to edit or change hundreds of cards with one click, and we get into both high-level concepts and technical how-to.

Absence, as they say, makes the heart grow fonder, which I believe was an aphorism coined about a gamer's relationship with their prized game collection.

Fortunately, Mark has his stable of insect rikishi to keep him company.

In this industrious 148th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Quinns and Tom are jumping into two varyingly bleak economic games. The Cost is an asbestos-mining infrastruct-em-up with a beige board and some bleak commentary, while Arkwright: The Card Game takes Arkwright’s cutlery manufacturing to a more compact place.
