Gaming on a Budget Ep. 3: Board Games, Flavor, BattleBall

In this show we discuss ways to get a good gaming experience despite a money constraint.

Each month we will have one show about flavor in gaming. In this introductory episode, we discuss what we mean by "flavor," and talk about its general importance. More specific topics will follow in the months to come. This month we also provide a brief overview of board games, and talk about common elements (strategy, luck, diplomacy, etc).

I've heard that from a lot of people. I liked the bubbly, light nature of Battleball, but I could definitely see why someone would prefer Blood Bowl.

Thanks for watching!
