Episode 136 - Top 10 Games We Are Enjoying in 2023 

In this week's episode we count down the TOP 10 board games we are enjoying, so far, in 2023. This is distinctly not a discussion of games released in 2023, rather it is about the games that we are playing, that are hitting our tables this year. Also, Jake wants you to know that technically kickball and disc golf are essentially board games and remain as perpetual #0 on the top of his list. Okay, with that important clarification out of the way it is time to hop aboard the Interdecisional Spaceship and launch into this fan-favorite episode format!

Pre-Planners

Santa Monica, Torres, Food Chain Magnate, and social deduction games et. al are coming up in the relatively near future!
