Draft Mechanic Episode #101: The Geekway Experience
I! Hope! You! Are! Ready! To! Hear! About! Some! Games! We’re back from Geekway and fully recovered and comin’atcha with over two hours of Geekway recap. It was a whirlwind of cardboard and wooden bits with a stop or two for a brew. Ok, maybe more than two. We talk up the games we played, what rocked and what flopped, the Geekway bottle share, Southern’s amazing fried chicken, hanging out with pals old and new, and more. And news definitely didn’t take a week off because we’ve got big ol’ news in both games and beer. So let’s get on the road (metaphorically) to the Gateway city, Saint Llllllllllllllouis Missouri!

We’ve also got Circle the Wagons on tap, recent plays of Carcassonne: Amazonas and Tokyo Highway, some odd beer news from across the pond, and a pair of Kickstarters that couldn’t be more thematically distant.
