The Good, The Board, and The Ugly

Episode 176 Lumin Sperling, Board Game Traveler

Lumin has taken the last year for a bit of early life retirement, exploring game conventions across the country and soon to be world with an emphasis on competitive gaming. He's a super nice guy who's here to make you jealous. Also, we announce a contest for two lucky winners that will receive either Steamrollers or Wendake from the lovely people over at Game Surplus. Here's a silly idea: Watch Joe's video reviews on youtube under the playlist The Sallen Coefficient. I dare you. They've gone up in editing quality. Joe's really hitting a stride. Or so he thinks.
