Episode 291: Arborea, Falling Sky: The Gallic Revolt Against Caesar, The Same Game

The Board Game BBQ Podcast

This week Dana, Def and Lauren chat about the eclectic mix of games hitting their tables. Dana is bursting at the seams with a backlog of games to discuss! Back from India she is leading more pilgrimages for villagers in Arborea. Def is battling his way through his oath to play all his GMT games and has a stab at Caesar in Falling Sky: The Gallic Revolt Against Caesar. Lauren is trying to work out if a ruler and toilet brush are in fact the same length in The Same Game.

After that we've got the regularly scheduled Question of the Pod, and we actually fulfill some of our oaths this time.
New Question of the Pod: What are your predictions for the BGG light, medium and heavy game of the year and why?
