Village Rails by Matthew Dunstand and Brett J. Gilbert from Osprey Games
then we explore Mozart's life and final Requiem, helping to tell his story and finish his final piece in
Lacrimosa by Gerard Ascensi and Ferran Renalias from Devir

We've done deep dives into games before, but really when you get down to it, games are just the medium. The substrate. What it's always been about is people. We hope to pick at the minds of some of the hobby's best with this format - and until then, we have Kellen. Before we unpack the man, the myth, the legend, we talk about Cuba Libre, Gang of Dice, and Time of Empires.
