This episode we discuss Uwe Rosenberg's "Caverna" - a massive worker placement game about dwarven homesteaders, packed to the gills with wooden pieces.
We also walk you through one of the most talked about games of late 2016 - "Terraforming Mars". It's a competitive game where each player is a different corporation trying to out-compete their opponents to terraform the planet as efficiently as possible. You'll learn why it's awesome, and why you want an aftermarket overlay.
