The coffee craze has hit Portugal and there's a fortune to be made supporting its growing cafe culture. Can you create a successful supply chain harvesting, drying, roasting and delivering coffee beans to meet the demand for this magic drink?
Shelley and I have a great time with two more Japanese titles, one of which is more readily available than the other, though both are worthy new titles that we need to get on our own shelves...in fact, many thanks to a BGG user who was willing to trade for his copy of Pastiche!

In episode 256, Steve digs into his mail bag and definitely is NOT paid by Cabalists to provide shout outs on the air. Then the Founders get busy talking about the games they've been playing including Dead Reckoning, USPS The Great American Mail Race, Dorf Romantik, Conquest of Planet Earth, My Father’s Work, Suburbia Collector’s Edition and Everdell Digital. Then, of course, Tony T give the audience with the best damned tabletop gaming news segment that has ever been provided to a podcast audience. And finally, the gang hosts a Short Topic Extravaganza with topics including the Founder's superpowers, what Dungeons and Dragons characters would the Founders be, how many plays does it take to say a game is bad and are there any Kickstarter the founders regret backing and not backing.

Fatal Fury 3's subtitle was Road to the Final Victory, ironic given that there were then four more Fatal Fury titles (the first's subtitle was The King of Fighters, which is its own huge delightful kettle of fish). While Fatal Fury Special (the actual third Fatal Fury title, which made 3 the fourth, please do keep up) was worthy in its own right, 3 is clearly where the Fatal Fury series hit its stride. This is to say nothing of the introductions of Ryuji Yamazaki and Blue Mary! It's either this or Kant, folks.
