#70 Making a Living as a Board Game Critic ft. Tom Brewster

This week, Tom Brewster of Shut Up and Sit Down helps Tom Bowers take over the show in Kenny's unprecedented and unexpected absence. Will Tom and Tom manage to solve the mystery of Kenny's disappearance? Or will they simply yap about board games for nearly two hours and uncover the forbidden secrets of how to break into every Zoomer's dream career: becoming a YouTube celebrity? There's only one way to find out...   Games we played: 6:35 - Mexica (2002, Wolfgang Kramer & Michael Kiesling, Iello) 10:40 - Memoir '44 (2004, Richard Borg, Days of Wonder) 18:13 - Terra Mystica (2012, Jens Drogemuller & Helge Ostertag, Feuerland Spiele) 28:08 - BANG!
