#229: The Positives of Being Negative

There's a lot of discourse lately about the pros and cons of negative board game coverage, and so of course we thought we ought to weigh in.

Before we take the good with the bad, we talk about Homeworlds, Ave Caesar, and Founders of Teotihuacan.

01:42 - Homeworlds
12:39 - Ave Caesar
18:03 - Founders of Teotihuacan
30:31 - Negative criticism
56:06 - Quest
