Joel shares his experience with Return to Dark Tower, while Nick dives into Pampero and Foundations of Rome with its Roads of Fortune expansion. The episode’s main topic sees Joel reflect on his purchases from last year’s Essen Spiel, including titles like Cabanga!, Forest Shuffle, Zoo Tycoon, and Ark Nova: Marine Worlds, scoring their performance over the past year.
