 Re: Episode 222 - Board games
I wanna know who you're playing with that Pandemic isn't winnable? I've won more games than I've lost, easily.

My friends weren't doing that, and it was unloseable; when we started doing that, win rate dropped to maybe 50%. No we did take the cards out but with three people use the pilot and the diver and one other. save your helicopters and you will win.

 Re: Episode 222 - Board games
I've finally listened to (half of) this episode, but I have to comment: Hanburgers! I would definitely listen to a podcast on gaming and the Han dynasty!

 Re: Episode 222 - Board games
Ho-lee crap. I had that game when I was like...12 or 13 or something. Got it for Christmas. I loved that game but man was it tough (as I remember). I loved the little talking center bit.
