Episode 23 – Convention Time

Antoinette and Oliver talk about the games that surprised them most.

Or maybe you bought a game without any expectations and it became your all-time favourite evergreen board game.

Another year has come and gone, and what a year 2020 was. We did make some board game predictions at the beginning of last year, so now it's time to check if we were right, and to make predictions for the year ahead, for 2021.
