Hey Now Cabalists! We hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday! In today's Express Don and Jamie get together to discuss some games that don't get enough time on the flagship show - Casual Games. These are those low complexity, easy to teach, quick playing card and party games that we love to play with our families. The fellas recommend some awesome games that you'll be running out to the game store to snag.

Something is very off this episode...  Dave hosts and it's a little bit French

In Chris' second episode of his run he wants to know why we suck at board games, well when we say we we mean us specifically as we can't comment on general gamers.  Do we abandon games we suck at? Do we stick with it in the vain hope we'll become better? Listen to our latest episode to find out.
