Episode 27: Puzzle by name, puzzle by nature (Uwe Rosenberg Games)

Whose Turn Is It Anyway?

We take a bit of a departure from our non serious episodes of late and we focus on the Uwe Rosenberg games that we've played along with our thoughts and why some of those games end up becoming staples within collections and the hobby in general
FIRST PLAYER: Davey
OTHER PLAYERS: Becky & JP
OVERVIEW
In this episode you'll learn:
- How the team are doing after our sad news of Kris passing away
- Davey & JP recall their first play experience on Vital Lacerda's new hotness "Inventions: Evolution of Ideas" - Spoiler Alert: it's great and a massive thank you to Scott from Scott Plays for the teach and previewing it with us
- That Davey struggles to say "Caverna" seriously check out the bloopers in a future expansion pack episode
- About our groups experiences with Uwe Rosenberg designed games from Arigcola to Atiwa.
- Why Uwe games just feel comforting and a general joy to play
- Just Two gets an upgrade to Just Three (as there's only three of us on the show)
- JP is looking forward to his birthday games day which is any excuse just to play back to back games
