Kyle Schubert

If length was an indicator of net-worth, this 8th episode is the Jeff Bezos of board game podcasts. Still recording remotely, Kyle welcomes back Joe and Joel, as well as a very dear friend, Michael Searles, to talk about some board games. Mostly, the conversation is about Wingspan, the greatest game, not only of 2019, but of all time. We all verbally bow to the innovative genius that is Wingspan, and revel in it's shining light, which breaks into the darkness that is card games. The Golden Geek Awards is crazy though. Fur real.

Satire aside, we all think Wingspan is a good game, and are pumped on what it has done within and without the hobby with regards to raising awareness for and offering an entry into hobby gaming. But dang.
