Becky takes us back in time when we had our first experiences of tabletop gaming and what our "gateway games" were that brought us in. Has those games defined our tastes, how did we step stone through to games we play today and do we still go back to them.

OTHER PLAYERS: JP, Rob & Dan
In this episode you'll learn:
- more about a Scout like card game called Odin by Helvetiq as Becky explains all
- how JP has been trying to stop children from freezing in Frostpunk by Glass Cannon Unplugged and failing miserably
- Rob has ventured deeper into the Lacerdaverse with his first impressions of The Weather Machine by Eagle-Gryphon Games
