Episode 332: Tabriz and a Short Topic Extravaganza
Hey Now Cabalists! Welcome to another jam-packed episode of The Cabal! Today we talk about our brand-new gaming haunt — Franklin Street Social. Then we dive into some games we’ve been playing, including Galactic Cruise, XCOM, Claustrophobia 1643, Sweet Lands, Magical Athlete, and Chicken! Then Don and Jamie give you a feature review of Tabriz, designed by Randy Flynn. After Tony T hooks you up with the greatest damn news segment in the history of news segments, the gang takes on a bunch of listener questions with topics including narrating your turn, board game movies, and when table talk starts to look like cheating.
