JP returns from a rather sweaty weekend in the Netherlands...no not like that, board gaming in 30+ degree heat of course. Every year Dávid Turczi hosts an invite only retreat for friends, family, developers, testers and this is my second year attending. So will I'll divulge any industry secrets, well no because NDA is a real thing but I did get a lot of games played so what an excuse to talk about them.

IN THIS EPISODE
- JP talks more about the event and the fun journeys driving to the Netherlands
- I joined a variety of content creators including Paul Grogan from Gaming Rules!, Mark Dainty from Not Bored Gaming and Asaf from EZBoardGames
- I talk about the following games including:
Andromedas Edge by Cardboard Alchemy
Slay the Spire by Contention Games
Leviathan Wilds by Moon Crab Games
Cat In The Box by Bézier Games
The Defense of Procyon III by PSC Games
Recall by Alion Games
World Order by Hegemonic Project Games
Clans of Caledonia
