Welcome to Episode 131 of the Devon Dice Podcast, where we serve up a delightful mix of gaming and pop culture chat in our third installment of Topic Tapas! Joel, is your host, and he is by Nick, our Spiel des Jahres Analyst Extraordinaire, and Sam, putting the “Yo” back in “polyomino”. In this episode, we’ll dive into the games we’ve been playing—Pioneer Rails, Darwin’s Journey, and Terraforming Mars with some exciting custom twists. We’ll also share some rules we got hilariously wrong, chat about holiday board gaming, and explore the non-gaming things we’re currently obsessed with!
