#279: Let the Golden Age Begin

Are we living in a golden age of board games? It's a simple question, but there's a lot to unpack - what even qualifies as a golden age, have we already had one, and if we are living in one, when does it end? Before we go for gold, we talk about That's Not a Hat, Pulsar 2849, and Barrage.

Timecodes:

01:39 - That's Not a Hat
02:19 - Cockroach Poker
10:52 - Pulsar 2849
19:58 - Barrage
33:30 - Are we in a golden age?
48:32 - Scythe
57:31 - Ark Nova
