  • Episode 16 - How to approach a game
    2022/02/12

    Molfo is still gone, and this time you'll have to endure Matteo babbling one hour and a half about how to appraise a game setup (or at least, how he does it), how to pick a faction, and then a thorough review of his decisions.

    And yes, it's a Bal T'Aks game. Life's weird, huh? 

    Here's the game: https://www.boardgamers.space/game/IWantThisToBeHARD
