Dan Carlin is a rock star

Used to play lots of Avalon Hill games as a kid. You captured a whole generational phenomena that, frankly, I miss. Hours and hours spent mulling over a 60+ page rulebook. Learning and playing the game required tremendous amounts of attention and focus. I am convinced these attributes became skills that later became helpful in school and my jobs.

Anyhow, you are always fairly brilliant and you did not disappoint in this episode. Thanks!
