Join Lauren, Adrian and Jules as they discuss what has been hitting their tables. The whiting is on the wall - Jules is hooked on trick taking, with Fishing. Lauren has been trying out less fishing and more fission, snipping wires in Bomb Busters. Adrian is grabbing his windbreaker and doing his best Al Capone impression in Chicago 1875: City of the Big Shoulders. To top it off we look forward in our question of the pod, and finish off with what has us fired up!  Question of the Pod: What are your 2026 board game predictions?
