Sorry for the late episode. We figured it would be better to bring you something that was fun but late instead of optimal but mid. Get ready for Robocop to blow your cop off in "concept purgatory".

What do you mean Ark Nova is too difficult for grandma? That's neither a game problem nor a curation problem. Grandma just needs to level up, we're in the 2020s here. Oh great, now she's crying while she shuffles the giant deck all wrong. Half the cards are upside down. Just give it to me; this is hard to watch. Your grandma is the worst.

Back in my day, we had to craft our monsters in the Chao Gardens before putting them in our pockets. And the games came in the mail via Del Taco coupons. Ouch, my ol' back.

It's a board game edition of Family Feud! Tom shaved his head and grew a caterpillar mustache just so the audio would sound aerodynamic. Listen as our poor host inevitably has to explain the rules multiple times as we blunder through.
