"Who's been painting my roses red? WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?
Who dares to taint
With vulgar paint
The royal flower bed?
For painting my roses red
Someone will lose his head."

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is to never get involved in a land war in Asia!"
No, it's not another play through of The Princess Bride board game, instead Eric and Kiwi recreate the German offensive into Russia in 1942, Operation Barbarossa. Kiwi has once again forced a game upon the podcast for work research so they are playing Holdfast: Russia 1941-1942 designed by Grant and Mike Wylie and published by Worthington Publishing, LLC in 2014.

Kiwi and bP weren't Yurty enough for the Yurtle club, so Kiwi just made a lot of Yurt puns in the show notes that now one will ever see but that he's unabashedly proud of anyway. Kait and Eric stayed in a Yurt, in said Yurt the tried to figure out what some good Yurt Games are. Not games with Yurts ... but if you find one of those please let us know, but games to take to a Yurt if you happen to be staying in a Yurt. See how fun it is to say Yurt? Yurt. Yurt. Yurt. I am Yurt!
