THE MOON!!! Well maybe not, we don't have an army of minions to help us. Instead, we'll just travel to the moon, to colonize it, you know ... because the earth is dying and we're humanity's last hope. Which honestly, if we're the last hope what happened to everyone before us? Kiwi and bP are playing Welcome to the Moon from Blue Cocker Games, designed by Alexis Allard and Benoit Turpin, and published in 2019.

With the end of the year and thus the end of the season upon us, we do our customary close out episode by playing a game we were so-so on for our first play and see if maybe our feelings could be different. We're playing Root again (for three of us) and for the first time (for one of us). Designed by Cole Wehrle and published in 2018 by Leder Games.
