Thank goodness, they finally came up with THE definitive guide to how to do everything. Is this what the whole Hitchhiker's Guide 42 thing was all about? Was it cones... cones everywhere? Maybe kiki? Maybe bouba? Please Dick, hang in there, we're sending you good vibes. Let me know if you have any questions about Through the Ages. I know it can be a bear to learn and I'm not convinced that the stepped rule book is as effective as people claim.

Somebody thought it was a good idea to put "board games" in the title for this week's episode when we talk about literally everything but board games. I hope you like the movie Groundhog Day because the main topic is the long awaited sequel where two Bill Murrays argue about stealing a copy of Yokai Septet.

9:27 - Craps (1125, Uncredited, Public Domain)

20:07 - Fugitive (2017, Tim Fowers, Fowers Games)

100 games before you die:

23:47 - The Search for Planet X (2020, Matthew O'Malley & Ben Rosset, Renegade)
