The BGG Show: Reminiscing Over CCGs and BGG@Sea

Time for another episode of The BGG Show, with Rodney Smith and Steph Hodge joining the usual trio of Scott Alden, Lincoln Damerst, and yours truly. Everyone not named Eric participated in one or both of the BGG@Sea cruises that took place in late June and early July 2018 following the end of the 2018 Origins Game Fair, and they talk about the cruise experience, playing games on a boat, and how to achieve a proper balance between gaming and cruise activities.

We also discussed recent games played and Wizards of the Coast's announcement of the Transformers Trading Card Game, which is scheduled to debut in September 2018. Come take a listen!
