Episode 62 - Tigris and Euphrates Part One

This is a bit of a doozy. In the first part of the first two-part episode ever, Brendan and Jake spar about the merits of Tigris and Euphrates. Is this a great game? Would you recommend it to new gamers in the year 2022? And of course we talk about whether or not this game is thematic. Brendan also shares some interesting history about the Dr. Knizia's unique process of creating this game. Buckle your safety belts, because this Interdecisional Spaceship flight might be a little bumpy.

Games Discussed

Tigris and Euphrates, Chess, Underwater Cities, and more.
