Shelley and I get two more fantastic games to the table this week, beginning our discussion with how the Contractors Expansion affects the solid small-box game
Red Cathedral by Israel Centrero and Sheila Santos from Devir Games
then the box gets bigger, and the dice manipulation gets even more interesting in
Tiletum by Simone Luciani and Daniele Tascini from Board&Dice
Thanks again this week to our sponsor LEIRIACON - taking place March 23-26 in Portugal. Shelley and I look forward to seeing any listeners who make the trip!
