We've been on an absolute whirlwind of recording episodes, and I can practically hear y'all shouting, “What the heck, make it stop!” Trust me, I get it—it feels like we're popping up in your podcast queue nonstop. But here's the deal: we've had some special releases in between our regular shows, so while it may seem like we're flooding your feed, it's all in the name of keeping things exciting. Or so we tell ourselves.

This time, we dove into a true classic that recently got a well-deserved facelift—Cyclades. Originally released in 2009, it was one of those gems we missed before board games became a staple in our lives. And wow, the production quality is nothing short of stunning. For those who picked up the deluxe components, I bet you weren't disappointed.

Now, let me be honest—this game exposed my weaknesses in a way I didn't see coming. It wasn't the game's fault; it was mine. But hey, maybe that's a sign of a solid strategy game—one that lays bare where you struggle and pushes you to improve. If you were a fan of the classic and have a well-loved, slightly worn-out copy sitting on your shelf, it might be time to snag this refreshed edition and bring Cyclades back to the table in all its glory.

Thanks for listening and appreciate all the support.
