In this episode, Tom and Eric podcast live from GenCon 2012!

But don't worry, we don't talk all about the fair. Instead, Eric gives us some first impressions of the new Merchant of Venus, and we review other games such as Smash Up and Flower Fall. We have a host of contributors, and end the episode with our question of the week - what game got you into gaming? But instead of just us answering the question - we have answers from designers, publishers, and more!

After the last episode where I complained about geeky games, I felt a little compelled to describe a few of those games I DO happen to enjoy. It's a bonus that I got to work in a reference to Curiosity, the Mars rover that just landed.

Yeah, I know we say that were going to talk about GenCon, and we do a very small amount, but most of that is in the next episode. In this episode, we're joined by Cody Jones and John Richard, and we talk about a pile of recently played games, including Descent 2.0 and D-Day Dice. We also answer several listener questions, and talk about what games we are looking forward to seeing!
