We never would've guessed years ago that we'd be wrapping up the fifth season of TBBP or that we'd be recording from our homes in quarantine but here we are. The boys went out with a *bang* playing the controversial eurogame, Caylus. There are lots of opinions on one of the first worker placement games ever and we have some of them. Also this episode gaming from quarantine - Apps to play, platforms to use and social gaming from a distance! Stay safe and wash your hands. We hope you like board games.
