#305: Hook, Line, and Sinker

Sometimes a game has a conceit so good, that it's the only description you need to sell someone on it. Let's call it the hook. Do all games have them, or is it something that only a certain subcategory of game can get away with - and why don't they all just print that on the box cover? Before we get the hook, we talk about Havalandi, Courtisans, 12 Chip Trick, and Dune Imperium: Uprising.

18:59 - 12 Chip Trick
26:10 - Dune: Imperium - Uprising

41:34 - Of What's Left
45:05 - Everdell

47:28 - 12 Chip Trick
48:09 - A Feast for Odin
52:25 - Skull
