Episode 124 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Comfort Games

Snuggle up in a favorite cozy corner, grab yourself a chai, and just make yourself comfortable. Today, all seats in the Interdecisional Spaceship are not in their up right and locked position. Today, we are laid back, relaxed, and chilling out to the low-volume, dulcet tones of Jake and Brendan as we talking about comfort games. We discuss what makes a game comfortable, why that is valuable, and offer some of our favorites in this broad and gentle category.

 

Pre-Planners

Chicago Express (Wabash Canonball), possibly Challengers! are in our hopper. We'll post another poll to patreon for our patrons to select a deep dive game again soon.
