Welcome, everybody! It's time once again for our year-end wrap-up episode, during which we each count down our top 5 games or game-related things from the year that was, from #5 to #1.

...or rather, from #5 to #4 this episode, with the rest coming next month, because BOY, do we like to talk about games. Highlights (and/or lowlights) include:

• Use This One Weird Trick to Diversify Your Damage Portfolio - Glyphids Hate It!
• PLEASE LET MIKE PLAY THE GAMES HE BOUGHT
• Sometimes, more is just more.
• The slightly bonkers player board from Revive
• The Adventures of Robin Hood: Friar Tuck Is Stupid
• Made-Up Place Name: Ominous Subtitle

Thanks as always for listening! If you have a few extra minutes, we'd love it if you could give us an iTunes review. Please leave one if you can - it helps us a lot!

We'd also love to have you visit our website and let us know what kinds of games we should discuss next. You're also more than welcome to comment on the episode page, or our Facebook page, or tag @ascentofboardgames on Bluesky (new!) or @ascentofgames on Twitter (for as long as Twitter still exists). Whatever way you prefer to share your opinions with us, we'd love to hear them. As always, we appreciate your listening - stay safe out there!
